Finish knitting a sweater

Today felt 100% like summer and has left the wool sweater I’m knitting pushed back even further in my closet (and in my mind I guess). Its a dark red Manos de Uruguay piece and I’ve done all but one remaining sleeve and have hit such a wall I’m not sure I’ll finish it for another year. It seems silly to not be able to finish the final sleeve but somehow this is the hardest part! It’s so boring!

So my nephew finally got his sweater, but it didn’t fit :( Even though I calculated his size by the time he got it, it seems I still knitted a size too small. That’s what happens when you take a whole 10 months to knit a sweater!! Kids grow!! LOL
Oh well, they can always keep it for the next one ;)
So now I owe a new sweater for my nephew. But I’ll start later; now I’m working on one for my dog :o)

I FINALLY finished!!!!!! I learned to add button holes and a collar and trim. Now I just need to sende it to Virginia for Annie Laurie! WOOT!

...but for now, I’m checking the “I’ve done this” button. I’m going on to knit a sweater for my doggie, but that’s in another “thing” to do :o)

I finally got the buttons and sewed them. I packed the sweater, the hat, and a card, and mailed it!!
I hope my nephew will enjoy it at least for what’s left of winter and his growing spur permits :o)

I finally finished knitting my nephew’s sweater —with hat and all—, but I’ve been looking all over for 3 buttons, and I can’t find any. I will have to make a special trip to JoAnne’s 15 miles away :P
Winter will be over in 10 days, and my brother tells me that my nephew is now wearing 18-months’ clothes… so maybe he’ll wear the sweater two times :S
Well, they can always save it for the next one ;)

I have finished the sleeves and am sewing it together. I have another class on Tuesday (next week) to learn how to do the trim, collar, and button holes on the trim. Then I’ll be able to finally send it to my little second cousin:)

Well, I finally finished doing all the knitting (after one year), so I just need to sew it all together. Must be done by the end of this week!

I just got back from my 3rd class. I have a back and half of the front done. Then I’ll start working on the sleeves. My goal is to finish all that by next weekend. In my last class, I’ll be able to stitch it all together and add the trim and buttons. THEN I’ll BE DONE!!!:) and I’ll be able to send it off to my cousin Erin for her baby Annie Laurie.

My Husband got me knitting classes at the yarn store right down the street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still haven’t finished the baby sweater, but I think I need to actually learn how to read a pattern, b/c that sweater simply will not fit any baby comfortably:) Oh well. But I have knitting classes!!!:)
