I’m going to give this crazy thing a whack. Going for category 1 I think. But I just ordered yarn for it, so I might get a touch behind.
Fingering Weight - so I am knitting a Category One - System Epoch size.
Looks like I need size 10 needles. Which seems insanely big, so we’ll see :) Gauge of 3.2 stitches per inch as an aim.
Edit - 2/19/16 - Started with size 9 needles, didn’t like my super loose fabric feel, frogged and restarted on size 7 and now I like the fabric.
EDIT
Realized that I already have one skein of that same color I just ordered. Because I am smart. Might just cast on actually ON TIME!
Options: Do I go with Albert Einstein or Queen Victoria… I think I’m leaning Victoria :)
2/18/16 - Week 1 - Queen Victoria wins! :)
2/22/16 - Week 2 - For my crew I chose: Ingrid Bergman, Grace Coolidge, Amerlia Earhart, Indira Gandhi, Queen Victoria (I mean, seriously, we’d just spent a week knitting together), Admiral Grace Hopper (what a badass!), Grace Kelly, Maria Montesorri, The Grand Duchess Anastasia, Eleanor Roosevelt (of course!), and Robin Williams.
So that meant that I knit the Teselecta Camoflage for mine. I liked this pattern because it was very different from the first section :)
2/29/16 - This week I picked the Sonic Pirate. Half because I like pirates… and half because I thought the other one looked too similar to the first section. Also I could only reasonably be sure I could pronounce 3. I could sound more out, but I can’t know if a native speaker could understand me.
3/7/16 - Centurion’s Post all the way! I figured I’d rather knit with chunky than with thread. Maybe. Sometimes. Heck. Centurions are cool. I knit Centurions now.
3/14/16 - A 2 color diagram for me. Honestly, I would have done a three color…. buuuuut, the Theta Sigma pattern is prettier!
3/21/16 - I picked Florizel but then I loused it up. I ended the section early. I might re-knit. Maybe. 4/4/16 - I mucked up the Florizel, but I ended it early, then knit the regular Zeppelin XD
3/28/16 - ION STORM ALL THE WAY. I don’t fuck with goddesses or create insane paradoxes ;)
4/4/16 - VIKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!! For Katie. There was an error in the pattern so I fell behind. Actually knit this on 4/20/16. CATCHING BACK UP!
4/20/16 - Section 9 - I think I’m going to choose a book not listed since I want a stitch and lace dictionary WITH CHARTS and the ones listed there don’t have charts (I think) which leads me to knit Piperline, but then I thought about EZ books and she’s hilarious, so I’m going to try Gamma Strike.
Section 10 - New England, Gloves, please! Horn of Daemos for me.
4/27/16 Section 11 - Chameleon Arch! (resume with row 10)
Section 12 - Reinette
Section 13 - Reversed Polarity
5/23/16 - catching up again.
Section 14 - Vanishing Point - although I was very tempted to do the one with the living Romans!
Section 15 -
