Knitting progress

I have reached that level of skill where I can recognize inadvertent yarn-overs and correct them rather than knit into them, but I have not yet reached the level where I don't make them.

I have embarked on a difficult afghan pattern, which has, I kid you not, ten different types of cables. Also, bobbles. Also, the trinity stitch, which I've done before and rather like, but it does involve this weird Make 3 thing. Best estimate is that it will take about 150 hours, total.

I am also finishing up a crocheted afghan that I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with. I'm piecing together 182 little hexagons. So very annoying. But that project isn't very portable.

It is going to be amazing when it's done. I am so very impressed with the start of it. And I can't believe you did an entire practice afghan just to prepare you for this one.
