My inward knitting setting is on Turbo this morning...

[msfledermaus]

I've got the front of a new sweater done and I'm working on the back. it's a black, grey and lavender fair-isle pattern, I'm just winging it as I go. (It's easy enough, and kinda minimalist for fair-isle. I will take pictures, I promise.)

Since I'm using biggish needles and bulky Brown Sheep yarn, this thing is flying like crazy. I think if I work at it I could be done with the whole thing in another week. For a sweater, this is insanely fast...

When you say "on Turbo," I think of that button that used to be on the front of computers with, I believe, a 286 processor, to double the clock rate and make what was miserably slow merely very slow.

If they had a Turbo button for modern processors, it would probably be akin to a self-destruct button.

(Actually, on reading Wikipedia, it turns out that the purpose of the Turbo button was the opposite of what I'd thought -- it made things slower for software compatibility.)

Hmmm...Turbo means so much. And when I wrote it, I was thinking of the Addi Turbo knitting needles that are advertised as the Fastest Needles Ever. Hehheh, it's terrible when knitters stumble into the vocabulary of the tech world...
