I just realized this morning that I haven’t put any pictures of completed baby things on my blog! Duh! It’s really been years since I have done any sweaters & such. Although, I did find a bag with all the finished pieces of a baby boy sweater. I hate finishing! But I will now finish it because my sister in law is pregnant & even though she isn’t finding out what the sex of the baby is I am sure it is a boy!
Also I hit my LYS this morning & bought some tiny needles, sz 1’s 2’s & 3’s, to work on my stripey sweater sleeves. Funniest story, well not so much funny as just frustrating~ my kids bunny ate my copy of stitch ‘n bitch so my friend Thuy gave me the pages that were eaten so I could finish my project. Well I pulled it out to work on it some more last night, thinking that I will never get it finished if I don’t, and could not get the measurements to work.
DUH! I realized that there were corrections that I hadn’t paid attention to after I downloaded them off of the internet. Lame! So I frogged 13″ of the sleeve, to my husbands delight (he loves the ball winder, it’s the gadget guy in him). Started over & now I am devoted to getting at least this sleeve done this week! As well as work on other lame projects I have. Nothing is screaming “finish me! you will LOVE me if you just finish me & wear me!” So I am just dilly dallying on all projects. Current list of projects:
-stripey sweater (back done, one sleeve cast on)
-sweater for George (front & back done, one sleeve cast on)
-Labrador sweater for Sadie (Only have to sew it together, not much motivation considering she can’t wear it for at least 2 more months here)
-stripe/argyle sweater for sister for Christmas (back 1/3 way done)
-blanket for George~ it’s just too damn summery to make a blanket right now~
-Ummm….that might be it for now, oh no, elite yarn provence green cross-over tank out of the vogue before last.
If I dig I am sure I could come up with many more! So I am going to focus once again & get some of this crap done!!!
