Armor Smithing Week 1, Days 2 and 3

As we continue on our way making our scale armor, things are getting easier. By the end of day 2, I'd finished two 5 across diamonds, and Sue had started knitting together her 4 across diamonds into the neckline for her armor.

Day 3 went even better. I finished four 5-across diamonds and knitted three of them together--I would have gotten the fourth knitted as well but I knitted it backwards and had to take it out. Sue completed knitting together nine 4-across diamonds and is now beginning to worry where/when she's going to have to do contractions to handle the boob issues.

We're both really enjoying this project, and spent a little time talking about how exciting it will be when the kids demand some armor of their own. I've already been told that if Molly wants purple, that I'll be weaving that lest Sue get the purple poisoning.

More soon.
