During the game I started gauge swatches for my Mr Greenjeans cardigan. I bought the yarn for it on friday (as well as the reccomended needles) and knit during the game.
Reccomended gauge is 18/24 over 4 inches. I'm getting 20/26, unwashed and unblocked. I just rinsed it under running water, soaked it and agitated it a bit like you would while washing it and now it's laid out on the floor. We'll see how it blocks, and then go from there. I may start another stockinette swatch on needles a size larger just to see.

Ugh. Grey Cup = crap eating all day. Well, no. I made some kick ass banana pancakes this morning but since then it's been nothing but veggies and dip, and tandoori doritos. Mmm, tandooritos.
Also, it's getting really cold now. I'm in handknit socks and my shawl, drinking tea and cursing the snow. GRR!

nolivingmanblack_hound, how are the arms turning out on yours? That's one of the things I'm worried about with this project- I like closer-but-not-tight fitting arms, and the pictures tend to look a little baggy. And short. I might lengthen the sleeves and the cabled bottom. Hmm.)Ugh. Grey Cup = crap eating all day. Well, no.
