I thought I would actually post about knitting progress! Novel idea, isn’t it?
I did finish the Starsky yesterday! It’s had a bath and now just doing the last bit of drying. I am really hoping to wear it to knitting tonight.
I love the pattern & the yahoo group Starskyknitalong is fantastic! It’s monitored by the author of the pattern Jordana Paige. They recommended using Knitpicks Sierra, a bulky weight wool blend, but I used some Lamb’s Pride worsted that I had on hand. I love everything about it! I do think this is a pattern that I would happily knit again! It took me approx. 36 hours to make, not bad for a sweater that size. It helped being a bulky weight yarn. I haven’t done belt loops yet because I ran out of yarn. Tracy has some more for me to finish with.
I know the pics aren’t the best but with the lighting I had to deal with last night it was the best I could do!
I am about done with the back of the Ballet wrap cardigan from the Winter 2005 Interweave knits. I am using some pure merino bulky wool six ply from hpy in a color they no longer have. It’s a greenish teal. Gorgeous!
I found a pattern today that I think will be pretty easy to mimic. I love felted hats, they are so versatile! You can wear them in the rain, sun, beach (in the winter), anywhere really. So this is the hat I want to make next using up some of my wool scraps.
I got my sisters blanket to her the other day & she loved it, thank goodness! I, of course, forgot to take a picture of it beforehand so I will have her take a picture of it in her living room when they get home.
Now my goal is to find a profession sewing dress model (mannequin) for under $100. Good luck to me!! Ebay is my best bet I am thinkin’!
