The Glowing Sea itself is a dangerously irradiated hotspot, with above-average radiation levels throughout its territory. It is located where the south freeway connected to Mass Pike Interchange ends. The area was where the atomic bomb struck in 2077. It is not technically a “sea” but rather a large isolated patch of heavily irradiated landscape, ripped up and reshaped by the atomic blasts that carpeted the area. Much of the Glowing Sea consists of scorched earth spotted with radioactive ponds, charred trees, wrecked cars and heaps of rubble, with hardly any signs of previous civilization. What few buildings remain that weren’t outright reduced to thinly-spread debris are half-buried by landslides and sinkholes caused by the bombs. Rain clouds that pass over the Glowing Sea become irradiated and spread radiation into other parts of the Commonwealth wasteland in the form of rad storms.

I’m not sure if it’s me not understanding the cast on, or if the numbers are off, or if it’s meant to be short rows or what for the garter tab, since the numbers don’t actually add up.

Got it figured out! Chart one done, and I’m doing two repeats of chart two.

And then I realized I am. Not. doing the chart with a center spine because I am braindead. Learn from my mistakes that I will continue to make because all I have left are massive history courses, kids, do not take three majors courses in history that all require research papers at the end of the semester. You will regret life utterly.
Gonna rip back and restart tonight, but the bulk has to wait until tomorrow. Got a research presentation to finish for Methodology first.

I about to do a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon over the next few days now that the semester is over, so that should give me some prime knitting time to finish this up.
Don’t even ask me about the new movie, I’m already spoiled and I’m ready to riot at Disney for what they’ve done to Barbossa and his backstory.

The end is in sight! Halfway through the next to last chart. Either tonight or tomorrow morning I’ll be finished with the actual knitting, and then I can block it and get some decent pictures.
Outside.
Where the light doesn’t suck.
Time to fire up At World’s End and see how far we get.

I’m done. I’m done. I have learned that almost a year without having time to knit has done nothing for my knitting speed, and I am really, really slow now. So I guess I’d better knit a lot more over summer break before next semester. And take more knitting with me to campus, too.
Anyway, it’s done. Right now it’s blocking, and I’m waiting on enough light to get a quick photo, though I don’t think a fancy one is happening today. The weather is dreadful.
