Okay, back to knitting again! Well, I finished the Madeira pattern for the Shipwrecked Shawl and have put that on hold. First because I was up at our cabin without any way to string the beads and I didn’t have any of my larger needles to put on the shawl. So I worked on the Collared Baby Boy Cardigan for the following couple of days until we got home. So I’m about half way done with that.
When I got home on Monday, I read my ravelry site. I joined the BSG FPB (Fleet Power Battle). Yup, I'm a dork/geek/nerd/whatever. It’s basically a game to see which team (Pegasus, Galactica, or Cylon) can knit the most stuff in each ‘term’. The term lasts 3 months. Each month, you can do an option of 1-6 briefings that must be started AND completed within that month. You get a certain number of points for starting a project, and a number of points for completing it. You can do one or all of them per month. Then there is Viper or Raider training. VT/RT is a difficult project that will take you the full term to complete. You get more points for that.
So I started on the Baby’s First DNA Model. I’m making it for my friend’s baby, but she doesn’t know it yet. Hopefully, I can get it done by the baby shower in a week from tomorrow. That just means I have to bust my butt. It’s not big, as I’m almost done the first cord of it and I’ve only worked on it for a few hours. Then I’m going to finish designing my first shawl with the BSG logo down the back and vipers and raiders coming down the sides. I’m excited!

ReplyDeleteThat shawl sounds like it is going to be cool. Don't you love this game? I spend as much time on the boards and reading new blogs as I do knitting my Engineering project.
