September sweater madness

Anyone interested in a Fall round??

Looking ahead

Ok - has anyone looked at the lovely patterns that are coming out from Drops this fall?

There are vests, cardigans, and sweaters.

Perhaps if we start thinking about it now?

Let Sleeping Dog Lie

I guess this will be the end for yet another year of March Sweater Madness. It was fun while it lasted. No, I didn't get my sweater finished, first time in three years. On the other hand, I did finish a UFO in April. The pictures of the baby sweater can be found on my blog.

Holly I still owe you a gift for finishing your March Sweater Madness. I will get in touch soon to get your mailing address.

Have a great year and knit on.

Multi-Tasking

Hi! Where is everyone? Out enjoying the nice spring weather? I know I have been. In light of that I've switched to a smaller UFO that needed my attention.

This is a wool sweater that I'm designing as I go along, for my cousin's baby, who is 9 months old. I have to get this done ASAP before he grows out of it without a chance to wear it. I've just started on the second sleeve, then need to knit the button placket and a hood and assemble it.

Let's see what the rest of you are working on.

Still Working on It

I vow that this Drops sweater will not remain a UFO much longer!

April Is For UFOs

Holly had a great idea! Let April be a month of UFO completion.

I already started. On April 1st, I finished a dishcloth that's been gathering dust for more months than I care to admit to. Then I knit two more the same day. And that is how I got my knitting groove back. Thank goodness! On April 2nd, I picked up my March Sweater Madness sweater after almost a two week break, and as of last night I am up to the armpits and ready to cast on the sleeves. Long live progress.

So will we have any joiners this month?

Holly, I forgot to ask when you finished your sweater, would you like a first finisher gift or to do a mini swap?

Progress

I have the first button hole made, as well as the first set of side decreases. That is progress, right? Slow, but progress nevertheless. After all, I've used up two full balls of ALaFloss Lopi already. May I take this opportunity to congratulate Holly on her speedy finishing of her March Sweater Madness sweater. Great job, Holly!

May I also state that I am quite disappointed that no one else has joined us this year. There is still time, ladies.
