    Daffer_Kent reading the Happy Hooker - no it's the other one, about crochet

    Fixed one sleeve 1 day ago

    and working on the other, hoping to get this project finished before I go on holiday in just over two weeks.



    Daffer_Kent reading the Happy Hooker - no it's the other one, about crochet

    Unravelled the sleeve a ways 3 days ago

    and picked up the stitches and have kept on increasing until the sleeve is almost wide enough. I think this is going to be okay.



    Daffer_Kent reading the Happy Hooker - no it's the other one, about crochet

    Think I've worked it out 4 days ago

    I will unpick the sleeves a few inches and keep increasing at the point the pattern told me to stop. At the worst (hopefully) the sleeves will end up a bit longer than I envisaged.

    I picked up a crochet book from the library, think I might try my hand at crochet again. I’m only interested in the pretty stuff, I taught myself how to crochet a flower, rather than rows of crochet.



    hosting knitting club 6 days ago

    I’m hosting this Thursday to practice on a scarf.

    Bit of a break... 1 week ago

    So because of social commitments and being sent away for work I’ve not done much knitting lately.

    Until today I’d only done about 1 row in the last 2 weeks. Better than none I suppose. I’ve now got about 24cm in length and I need to get to 32 or 33 before I make allowances for the sleeves. So I’ve a way to go yet.

    I was hoping I’d get it done in time to wear this winter, but at this on-off rate I’ll be lucky to get it done by next winter I think.

    Curses 1 week ago

    So I start sewing up the side and realised the sleeves just don’t fit. My guage was out slightly and it DID matter. Merde.

    What to do??? Thinking I could reknit the sleeves, or work backwards, pick up the stitches and knit down the sleeve rather than up and decrease as I go. Somedays I just hate knitting.

    Maybe I’ll go back to just knitting scarves and dolls clothes.

    Just the sewing up to go 2 weeks ago

    I knitted the last two rows of the collar and bound off. Now I just need to sew it up (the most boring part).

    I’ve got the wool for my next sweater project, now just hunting the perfect pattern.



    Daffer_Kent reading the Happy Hooker - no it's the other one, about crochet

    Stitched together the side seam 2 weeks ago

    and picking up stitches to knit the collar. On the homeward stretch. Keep it up.



    found my pattern! 2 weeks ago

    ... now I just have to make it over to get some yarn!



    Daffer_Kent reading the Happy Hooker - no it's the other one, about crochet

    Just need to stitch it together and 3 weeks ago

    knit the collar once it’s together. I’ve bought a couple of buttons for the neck, so I should get this done within the week, IF I start. Been at this stage for over a week already. Come on, let’s finish it!
