Can I just say sometimes (not often) I hate Blogger?! Here I was all depressed that I hadn’t gotten a comment on my blog in weeks, and I just found them, waiting in the “moderate comments?” section … So I definitely and wholeheartedly apologize for the delay in responding and say thank you so much [...]
I really hate knitting right now. I have tried three different sleeve combinations for this baby sweater that some people crank out in a matter of days, and what, 2, 3 weeks later, I have no idea how to make it work. It looks okay as a vest, but what self-respecting toddler would [...]
I guess I really am an advanced beginner knitter. After some delay, I was able to make it to my knitting group, and I was able to finish the first sleeve of A.Lo’s sweater. Then I realized it was probably too long (it’s a set in sleeve sweater and I measured it [...]
What a weekend. BR is officially sick again (I say “officially” because he’s been in bed for three days straight) so I’ve had to do everything for three kids, me and the house (and him). I know if I lived in the ’50s and this was my job I’d kill myself. Or [...]
As promised, here is the status of A.Lo.’s sweater:
I’m picking up the neckline right now, then I have to do sleeves. I got a couple of hours of progress today at a birthday party for one of DL’s school friends. Then I attempted to block it with my iron, and it didn’t make [...]
So it’s official. I finished the front of A.Lo’s sweater and it is double the size of the back I screwed up! No wonder it took me forever to do the back. Anyway, I frogged half the back and am getting it finished up. Although it was his birthday on Monday [...]
It’s amazing how quick knitting goes when you only have to knit half of what you think you have to knit! I’m almost done with the front of my baby sweater, since of course I only needed 12 inches total rather than 14 inches plus from the armholes to the neck. I still [...]
I’m in! Secret Pal 7’s website is up and I’ve even made my first and second buttons ever! Check them out:
Well, it’s official, the baby sweater would fit me, if I were to lose maybe 50 lbs. So I just decided to start on the front and then pull the back back to the right size for OR and make the front the same size. I guess the largest child size is realy for [...]
Still hard at work on my thin yet tall “baby” sweater. Even though I’ve spent almost a week on the back, for some reason I would rather continue the sweater and make 3 more pieces just to see if it would fit someone in my family rather than frog back what I’ve already done. [...]
