Witness another FO:

Pattern: Calorimetry from Knitty
Yarn: Paton’s SWS (Soy Wool Stripes) in Natural Blue
Needles: size 8 cheap metal straights
Pattern modifications: Take a peek at the pattern on Ravelry and you’ll see 2605 Calorimetr’s made. Crazy, huh? There are almost as many complaints about size/gauge. I cast on 88 st, which resulted in a perfect fit for me. I was actually aiming for 100 st, but my long-tail cast on didn’t quite get me that room! The SWS is pretty stretchy, though, as the pattern calls for, which helps it keep it’s shape well.
Thoughts: The color striping both amused me and drove me nuts. I am a little annoyed that the color changes are not quite even. Maybe one more row and the perfect symmetry would have been pleasing. I keep telling myself it isn’t a big deal, and that no one will notice when it’s on my head. I do love the color, though. I’ll blushingly admit to trying to match my wardrobe to it yesterday so I can wear it.
Also, a knitter with a reasonable amount of time could finish one in a few hours. This one took me perhaps three days, or about four hours.
It’s all the time you’re saving now that you don’t have to wait forever for pictures to upload and then fix them when they get screwed up. ;o)
Great Calori-whatsit! :o)
Looks very nice, I think the colors are even enough. I may have to jump on the calorimetry bandwagon…..they are tempting and quick….instant gratification really does rock with knitting!
Dammit, now I have to go make one…
Looks great on you, congrats on the FO parade!
Hee, I love the self-shot.
I also must admit that I love the one spiral curl on your forehead, as well as the slight break in your eyebrow tha tsuggests you were in a knife fight. Which I know you probably were.
Totally cute!
