Okay, this is sort of disgusting. xx I bought myself a pretty pattern program so I could chart what little I design in a slightly competent fashion--and I just re-did what I’d already done in said program in Google Docs and handily added the rest of the charts, too. It was much faster and much less irritating than dealing with the program, why, program, whyyyyy? ;_;

Anyway! There have already been some changes in the charts (mostly to keep it all consistent, which sucks when it comes to math and do I have the right number or repeats and where does it all join together anywaaaaaaaaaaay? ;_;) and I’ll be ableto start test-knitting them tomorrow. ‘Cause it’s 11 at night and I kinda wanna read before I have to sleep. ;_;

Bleh, changing one thing is all fine and dandy when writing AUs, but a considerable pain in the butt with this thing. xx Still, it managed to work out even better than my first try, so … ?

I am now on the whole-row repeats, so I’ll need to be typing up the charts (and the changes) and arranging them in a pleasing way (ha, I wish myself good luck with that! xx) so I can, a, get the freaking charity basket ready and, b, get someone who isn’t me to testknit my notes. It’ll be awesome, I swear.

And I’ll need to find some Archangel in the Malabrigo I have because what could be better than a rainbow dragon? :DDD Gotta testknit with the test knitters, wouldn’t be fair, otherwise! :DDD

And I am done! ^^ Yay, two weeks for this one! ^_____^ I have a tiny, tiny bit of my second ball of yarn left--just enough to say I didn’t use two whole balls of yarn. ^^’

Still have to get the call out for test-knitters--I got a little caught up in getting the charts all in place and working (for a given value of “working”, dammit. xx My own fault and they should work now? Please? ;_;), but I’m fairly certain everything’s been worked out (enough), less a stylistic thing or two.

This weekend will be the final putting together of the pattern, I think, so I can have it ready in time for the thing I freaking designed it for. I need to take extra picutres. xx And wash and block the crap out of this. Yaaaaay, things to doooooo. But another day because it’s 11:30 and I have to work tomorrow, dammit, and the day after that, too, double dammit.
