A bit late in the game, I suppose

But after some 60 rounds of entrelac (so not quite 4000 turns), I've finally figured out how to knit backwards!  Woot!  Still a little slow, but still faster and easier than having to turn the entire piece every 8 stitches. 

On other craft fronts, my Golding drop spindle showed up, and I've started my first forays into spinning yarn.  Also goes slow, but I think in time this will be a great deal of fun.
