finally finished my Nettle top!

I still need to knit one for my mom (different size, so I can extrapolate yardages from two tests) and write out the full pattern, but a good portion of the write up is already done.

done in Little Fox Vixen yarn, colorway Mandolin Orange.

my first stab at this pattern felted in the wash before I could get any good pictures of it. my second attempt started off well but was really scratchy when I tried it on (I think it was the dye job). but this time. this time I will finish and immediately take pictures. and I won't put it through the wash.

I promise this is knitting related, but I'm thinking about learning python. I learned R in my environmental studies degree, but every computer scientist outside of my classroom says R is. not good. so I'm thinking python.

now for my first python project, I plan to use ravelry's API to scrape data about knitting patterns and their pricing. I've already found a python wrapper for the API.

tune in next time for either me pulling my hair out or some lovely graphs about pattern pricing.

finally reknitting my carbeth that I felted in the wash! it was a cold gentle cycle so it only felted lightly- enough that it was too small to wear, but not so much that I couldn't save the yarn. the boucle is a little worse for wear, but reduce reuse recycle.

replacing the 2x2 rib with 1x1, adding short rows to make the back longer, and shaping the sleeves differently (2 increases every other row after the cuffs up to 50 sts: more poof!)

taking a short break from designing my newest pattern to make my old nemesis: a glove

made the first glove three years ago for my wife when she was having problems with her Reynaud's syndrome in her right hand, finally got around to casting on the left hand.

finished the left glove and it fits so much better than the right one I may have to redo the right hand.

proud of my progress in tailoring! and yet somewhat annoyed that I have to make yet another glove.

doesn't look like much, but it's the start of a dress with a keyhole sweetheart neckline. my own design, and boy has it been a bear to design.

this is take 5 or 6 at this point.

I'd like to know what the average price is for different types of knitwear patterns on ravelry, but I don't know where to find that info

STEM student brain: find a csv and read it into R and do the statistics on it

sane brain: surely someone has this information already

STEM student brain: but what if there's a csv
