What could be finer?
What could be finer than finally finishing the knitting of the Giraffe blanket?? At this point – NOTHING! I finished it last night. Friday night, I finished the last set of blocks and then it took me a few days to do the last 8 rows of garter stitch.
Wednesday before we left for Thanksgiving in Kansas, I sewed up the Daydream sweater. I forgot to take the pattern with me so I couldn’t work on the button band/collar. I’ll be doing that tonight. I may have a completed sweater by tomorrow, sans buttons of course! And I’ll post photos of the finished sweater soon! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this little sweater went so fast that I’m tempted to make another one. I love little baby sweaters! They are so quick and when they are for a girl, they are so sweet. :)
No, I will not let myself start anything new until I get a few of the Long Term Projects off of my list! Or at least one of them. I should make myself focus on either Petula in Rowan’s Linen Drape or Pagan in Rowan’s Calmer. I know, a big idea for myself, but hey sometimes you just have to lay down the law. But then again, aren’t some laws meant to be broken. We’ll see how long this one lasts.
So on my agenda for the next two nights, since I’m finished with my Tuesday classes until February:
1) Knit button band/collar for Daydream sweater
2) Knit 8 giraffe legs and make 4 tails for the Giraffe blanket
3) Sew in ends on the Giraffe blanket
4) Work on Bryan’s socks
5) Re-sew sleeve of Lang cardigan to body
6) Sew side seam of the Joy sweater that I finished in August 2003
7) Work on the Vicki Sever afghan square
I have a lot on my agenda, maybe I’ll get three of them done. Okay, so I could just use this as my knitting to do list for the next several weeks.
