Tick - Tock.....

The last month has been about....programming and a yarn hunt.

Sharon and I have spent about......23 programming hours trying to solve one problem. And it wasn't even an interesting one. Long story short...we had built the pattern to do a certain thing but at no point had we given any consideration to the pleat repeats if we held one edge, no real reason too it was just another element. However what we were treating as a repeat wasn't the same as what the programme thought was a repeat so when we inserted the held area it travelled so it was in the right place to begin with but gradually moved. On the screen it should of been correct but the economisers were having their say. It is now sorted but the problem was simply finding it.....sometimes it is the little things that trip you up.

Anyways the garment is as I type being knitted....so as long as nothing else goes wrong ...please let nothing happen....I will have my finished garment for my presentation in December, PHEW.

Now I need to sort out images for said presentation and find new yarn.....think I have but I am taking nothing for granted......and work out what I am going to do for the other 5 months of my M.A. as it is looking like I will have finished these garments by the end of February or beginning of March.....see that's what happens when you font load, you end up doing more...
