    Daffer_Kent my baby is babbling ba ba bbb

    Just the sewing up to go 2 days 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.

    Stitched together the side seam 4 days ago

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



    found my pattern! 4 days ago

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

    Just need to stitch it together and 1 week 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!

    Progressing well on the front 1 week ago

    I’m doing well on the front of the jumper now. Got about 12cm in length since starting. Need about 32-33cm before I change anything for the armholes. So this is going to take some time. I don’t think I really appreciated how much time Gran puts into her knitting. Mind you she is a lot faster than me.

    Progress and unravelling 2 weeks ago

    I did really well at first. I did about 6/7 rows of cabling, then I unravelled it all because it was too big. My wool is bigger than the one in the pattern. So I’ve started again compensating for that. Hopefully it will work out this time. I’ve only done a few rows this time because it was getting late.

    Wool and needles purchased 2 weeks ago

    I’ve just got back from the shop where I bought wool and needles. I found a pattern online for a v-neck jumper.

    Now I just have to find out how to cast on because I’ve forgotten. Somehow I can remember all the other stitches I ever got taught including casting off. It’s frustrating that I don’t know how to start.

    Found back the pattern for a tiny sweater! 3 weeks ago

    It’s supposed to take an hour to knit (takes me two hours) and it is designed to go on a Xmas card, IF you knit it in Xmassy colours.

    But I descovered that it fits my daughter’s polar bear and a bunny rabbit. So I’m going to knit a few more for my nieces’ dolls. So cute.

    On the second sleeve 4 weeks ago

    I almost wrote “on the last sleeve” but how many sleeves can there be?

    So some more progress, but past my initial deadline of 31 August 2009.



    bassetanna has work to do, but no motivation

    I like knitting 1 month ago

    but it seems like I never follow through on projects. I’ve made socks, and some fingerless gloves, but my sweater project has been languishing for months. :(
