LAME!!

I have been trying to post since last Friday and had nothing but trouble between blogharbor and IE. It’s a new problem that I have not encountered before and may have found a way around it. I will have to post pictures in separate posts so that I don’t lose all words plus pics. I had 2 GREAT posts too that have now been lost to the www world and will never return. I think we should call the world wide web, world war three. Just a thought.

So I am completely prepared for my first sock class that I am teaching tonight over at Knit & Pearl. I wouldn’t say that makes me ready but I am prepared.

I am still sticking to my list. I have been working on the Jefferson and my cream sweater. I can now knock Sadie’s sweater and the sock class sock off the list. That is joyous! I do love both of the sweaters that I am working on, lots of simple pretty cables to keep me interested without the hassle of charts or patterns to memorize. 2 and 4 row cables, what could be simpler? well, stockinette of course but that I was trying to be rhetorical. nice try, chaun.

I am really trying my hardest to keep from casting on for another Starsky. After Tracy finished hers I am swatched and swatched with one yarn I have but could not match gauge. I gave up and reminded myself that I have “a list” now that needs to be adhered to so I can actually accomplish some things! gosh.

So now I must prepare dinner early so that I can get my kiester out the door on time for my class ~whisper~ I am really trying to get there early to do a bit of shopping in the store before the class starts ~end of whisper~

Here is sweater #3 that I am doing from Rebecca 32.


I am using woolease color fisherman on this one. I want it cuddly and machine washable. It measures 12″ in the photo but I am up to 14″ now. I started it on 11/5 Sunday and have worked maybe 3 hours total on it so it’s going to be a really fast knit. That pleases me immensely!

so far I am sticking to the list

Here is Sadie’s sweater. Body is ready to have arms joined and one sleeve is 2/3 done. All accomplished in the last 20 hours. Sweet!

Cone knitting makes me happy! Gauge is 16sts/ 4 inches. It’s a quick knit but only because of the ease of the yarn. Why some yarns knit more quickly than others I cannot say but this is a quick one. That makes me HAPPY!

I will stick to my list. Next up, finish the sock for the sock class. That is a one night finish, easy as pie. I am really excited about working on my sweater but I must have patience. patience is not one of my virtues, hence my spinning wheel as a ‘birthday present’ when my birthday is not for another 6 weeks. I so know how to cheat!
