First up, an apology from me! When I wrote the previous post I forgot about the 3-day weekend so I’m off by a day. OY!
But now, here’s how I’ve been feeding my creative soul this past month.
See this pretty baby yarn?
I made a really pretty baby afghan for a friend who’s going to be a first time Grandma! Are you ready for the really “interesting” tidbit? I forgot to take a picture of it before I handed it over to the USPS! YES! Can you believe it? This camera-crazy person FORGOT to take a picture!?!?!?!?!
UGH!
My next project is this sleeveless cowl neck sweater…
I made a light green one last year so this year I’m making a maroon one. All I have left to do is finish the cowl neck part and knit a 3-row band around each sleeve then I can wear it!
I also need to figure out how to photograph maroon so it looks maroon. This is the right color but nowhere near dark enough.
Next up is this cardigan…
The knitting is all done but I’m having some assembly issues. It’s not hard to assemble, but for some reason my brain is not into assembly right now. It might have something to do with the fact we’ve been over 100 for the past 7 or 8 days so even once it’s all put together, the sweater will be too warm to wear right now. That’s my excuse anyway. Here’s a shot of the knitting…
I think the mish-mash of color will be fun!!!
Now on to the projects that are figured out but not yet started. My needles will be in overdrive again beginning Saturday so I really need to figure out which sweater will be next.
This ribbed cardigan…
…made with this yarn.
Or this diamond patterned cardigan…
made with this yarn…
Or this short-sleeved cable cardigan…
made with this yarn…
Or one of these two turtlenecks…
made with this chunky yarn…
I also have this shrug pattern in my “to knit” stack…
…but I don’t have any yarn for it.
Yet.
I’ve told myself that when I get 2 more sweaters off the to-knit list, including their assembly as well as finishing the 2 that are already to that point, then I can buy yarn for the shrug.
The deadline?
Hobby Lobby opens on the 30th of this month and I’m gonna be there with charge card in one hand and wish list in the other. Anyone care to guess how I’ll be spending my free time over the next 2-1/2 weeks?
Diamond pattern Cardigan & first turtle neck bulky sweater. Just my thoughts. Love all the projects tho!
I have no ability to do creative things. I cant knit, sew or crochet. Its so sad, these sweaters you are knitting are amazing and to have a one-of-a-kind, homemade sweater, well, I cant think of anything better! Congrats and enjoy, I cant wait to see the final product/s!
Thanks so much! My problem now is that I want to knit knit knit to the exclusion of everything else! Sometimes crafting is a curse
