thermal!

My KnitPicks yarn for Thermal arrived today! I picked it up from Mail Services before my class and wound one hank into a ball during Data Structures and another into a ball during my lunch meeting thing for my Software Design class. Which means that instead of doing the sensible thing of winding more into balls so I won't have to stop and start my progress, I cast on!

I'm not going to swatch this one. Here's my train of thought: I'm knitting on size 2 needles instead of 2.5s, since nowhere I've been seems to carry the 2.5s (damn American system), but I'm thinking that since I tend to get a larger gauge than most people do for their needle size, that going down half a needle size should give me around the right gauge. And it's a fitted sweater, so if it's a little tighter than I might have wanted, hopefully that'll be okay too.

And now...to knit!
