Karla’s sweater
I did a lot of work (approx. 4 1/2″ (11 cm)) on Karla’s sweater last night. I have started increasing for the top part of the body and should start shaping for the armholes in about 2″ (5 cm)! It’s going really quickly. I feel like I just started it and I’m moving along quite well on it. It helps that I’m knitting it on size US 9 (5 1/4mm) needles.
I finished the first sleeve of the Lang cardigan! Now I just need to cast on stitches for the second sleeve and knit it. I’m probably going to work the collar and button bands before I start the second sleeve. I’m doing it a bit out of order, but I’m bored with knitting it. It seems like it took me a long time to do the first sleeve, but in looking at my calendar it only took two and a half weeks. I should have the whole sweater finished by the end of March, that’s my goal for right now. If I get it done quicker than that, then that’s just that much sooner that I get to actually wear it. :)
I started the “Rosier” dress to match the little sweater. I have about an inch completed, it’s the little lacy pattern at the bottom of the dress.
During lunch today, I crocheted the little scalloped edging along the bottom of each sleeve of the sweater. Now I just have to crochet the collar and the bottom. I think if I crochet tonight at Knit Night I should be able to finish it! :) Then I would only have to put the buttons on. I want to have it completely finished so that I don’t have to worry about doing any finishing on the sweater when I finish the dress.
