…until the end of March. At least I am going to try a post a day Monday though Friday until the end of March. If I can get a post or two in on the weekend, I will, but it will be quite an accomplishment just doing Monday through Friday.
I hope you won’t find this post too boring, especially since I don’t have any pictures to show, but I’m just going to talk about my day today (well, and a little about yesterday). I will definitely have more posts with pictures more often.
First, what I accomplished yesterday: I finally finished knitting the first sleeve of my son’s sweater. That was quite an accomplishment! I knitted and ripped the same sleeve three times, and finally the fourth time, I have a sleeve. I’m not without my reservations, though, but I’m trying to hold out scrapping the whole project until I’ve at least finished the second sleeve. I’m crossing my fingers it’ll actually be wearable out in public when it’s done. If not, I think I may stick with scarves and slippers for a while.
Today, I framed a birth sampler that I should have had finished long ago for a friend’s son (he’ll be 2 in August!). We’re getting together tonight, so that spurred me on to get it finished in time to give to her.
I also finished charting two new designs today. One will be part of a set of Christmas ornaments, and the other is for a group exchange. It may end up as a complimentary chart on my website, or it may become part of a set. I’m just not sure yet.
Knitting, framing, and designing…well, you haven’t been very busy. LOL!
I read about your problems with the knitting. I find if you use longer needles, you can knit both sleeves up at the same time, that way they are always the same length. I have been knitting for 53 years (started when I was 6)
