Finish my knitting.

...but will be getting back to it soon.

I started working on the baby outfit again, last Monday, and am now more than halfway through a sleeve. I finally seem to be hitting my stride with this, moving faster, and only having a bit of a problem with the tension when I cast on (thanks to taking that knitting break).

*Edit. I finished the first sleeve on Sunday morning… (May 11th).

Late last week, I finally finished the front of the baby’s top that I’m working on… the only trouble is, it’s now getting on my nerves. Too much time sitting in one place, fighting tight wool/stitches (in places), trying to not lose any stitches, and occasionally getting whacked repeatedly in the upper arms by the needles – I’m feeling too antsy for this.

I picked up the peach wool project again, this past Sunday… I’m thinking of pulling apart the blue blanket, and using the wool for a Warm Up America project (or something similar).

The picture above is the pattern I’m working on right now, with the knitting itself; my knitting looks messy in comparison, but it looks better in person (except for the edging – it just doesn’t look quite right to me. This is where my perfectionism comes out; I’ve strongly resisted pulling it apart and starting again. That said, at the moment, I don’t think it would look much better if I did. ;) )

The blanket is on hold for now. I hadn’t worked on it much since last Spring, but I had every intention of picking it back up and finishing it.. other things just got in the way. When I went back to it, my yarn and needles were as I’d left them, but the pattern is missing; I have no idea where it is, but I’ll keep looking.

I started another project last night. It’s a pretty simple pattern, but the yarn is a little fiddly to work with.

I have to work through four large balls of wool, and have yet to finish the first one.
