The Sweater

The post you've all been eagerly awaiting - sweater pictures!! I finished the back panel over the weekend and moved on to the "kangaroo pocket" that will be sewn to the front. I had quite a bit of it done and then realized how screwed up and lopsided it was, so I frogged the whole damn thing and almost cried. I'm not sure what happened, though I suspect it had something to do with the "ssk" because it was my first time trying it.





Also, just an FYI, my cat is an awesome knitter.

The sweater looks great! Your cat is adorable too- what does she like to knit?

you've inspired me to knit. (and believe me, the matriarchs of my family are going to be shocked). actually, your blanket inspired me. it looks just like the crazy thing i need in my house.

Tasha is going to take me wool shopping. she seems like the perfect coach. she also told me it was alright if i took two years to complete it. because, with knitting, there are no deadlines.

and no grades either. thank heavens.

Al - I'm so glad I inspired you!! The blanket is what ultimately drew me over to the knitting side, too. I loove the colors. You'll have to keep me posted on how it goes!

Tasha - I suuck! I haven't been knitting much lately b/c I've been studying for my chemistry class. My final is tomorrow, though, so I should be back in the swing of it soon! :)
