Jofrog is Knitfrog!
July 13 2007
Last night I took the night off from the cobbler's bench to knit! Yeah. I feel like it's been a while. I've been doing a round or two of my sockapalooza sock when the babies are calmly playing, but nap times have been for ironing and cutting and sewing, and evenings too!
I have a lot of projects that are half way done. Some never blogged about, some blogged about ages ago. Every once in a while I decide to put one as a top priority. I did that with my Divine Cardigan (click for pic) a few months ago. I knit one sleeve right away and even cast on for #2... and then it sat again until last week where I picked it up and got to the cap shaping... and then it sat again until last night where I knit it up and bound off! Woo hoo...
...of course I didn't have the other pieces with me to start seaming, but still, the main knitting is done! Now I just need to knit that big old ruffle. The pattern has you knit it as a separate strip and then seam it on, but instead I cast on provisionally and I'll pick up stitches up the edges to be able to knit it on. It will both be quicker to finished product, and I hope neater.
Any bets on when this sees the light of day again? My personal bet is September! I hope that I can get my act together to wear it this fall... I mean really, how much more time can it take?Night Off
