Wet Friday

It's a very wet Friday here, as we have the remnants of Hurricane Nicole moving through today. I've taken the day off from work, as Rainbow is off from school (the trimester ended yesterday, so today is a teacher in-service day), but I have a busy day planned. This morning I'm going to get fingerprinted to get PSA PreCheck, and this afternoon we have an appointment to pick out linens for the bat mitzvah and then are headed to have a dress for the event altered. But we have a very calm weekend planned, so I am hoping to make some significant progress on my Recalibrate!

Here is where it stands this morning (apologies for the terrible photo quality -- it's not easy to take a photo when it's so dark outside even with the sun up!). I'd originally planned to knit a stripe on one side and then the other, but then I decided to put smaller stripes of the semisolid blue in between the mini skeins, and because I don't want even more ends to weave in, I'm keeping that big skein attached. I have worked out that I can work five garter ridges with half of each mini skein, and with two ridges in the blue in between, that means I will need to use seven mini skeins on each side, so here's the progression I've worked out:

I realize looking at it that I've arranged the colors right to left in the photo, but I think you can still get the idea. I'm more or less putting them in an order that gradually goes from dark to light, and I'm trying to make sure that there are colors in common in the stripes to the left and right of each.

What I'm most happy about with this project is that my math to rework it for my gauge seems to be working out just fine thus far, and I think if I need to make adjustments as I get further along, I should be able to do it on the fly. I am hoping that I can speed up my progress on it now that I've figured out a few key things!

I hope your Friday isn't too soggy and you have a good weekend!
