Sweater Update #2

I just spent a few days up in Tulsa where I had access to a camera. Unfortunately no knitting got done, but here are a few shots of the current status of my Britannia.

This one's dark, but shows the progress. I'm still working on the other sleeve, but I went ahead and sewed the other pieces up, because I'm impatient:

I'm really proud of how it's turning out. I'm about half way done with the second sleeve as we speak, and my plan is to not sleep tonight until I have a new sweater.

Sweater Update

I'm very sad that I have no way to share pictures of the progress I've made on my sweater.

I finished a sleeve today.

So all that's left now is the other sleeve, and the edge around the deep v-neck.

I started to make the edge but I was working it backwards and had to rip it out.

I'm not yet discouraged. It's in fact been a pretty easy knit. I'm not looking forward to seeming, though. I'm not feeling inspired to knit the second sleeve though, so I might try and finish the sock that's waiting for me.

sigh.

Camera-less in Dallas

Hey all.

I would be updating more, but I have no camera, and see no real point in just talking a lot.

Well, that's a lie. I like to talk too much. Ambrrr can testify to that.

My sweater is coming along quite nicely. I work on it pretty much whenever I'm home. I'm done with the back and about a third of the front. I'm getting anxious to be done, but I'm enjoying it very much. I'm hoping it'll fit. I feel I'm much bustier than the pattern was intended for, but we'll just have to see how it works out. (and as of this morning, when I weighed myself at the gym, I've lost a couple pounds, and if I keep that up, maybe it'll fit fantastically.)

As for the socks I was working on, one is complete. The other is about an inch big. I'll finish it up after my sweater is either complete or makes me need a break.

That's all I really had to say. I just felt like checking in. and my dear Ambrrr, please post new pictures of things. I know you've been knitting something.........

Excitement!

The yarn I ordered to make the sweater I've decided is my goal for the summer has arrived.

9 beautiful balls of Classic Yarns Soft Lux in Mist.

The sweater I've chosen is called Britannia.

I'm refusing to buy the appropriate needles until I am at home and done with school, or else I'll just fail all of my exams.

Pictures will happen later this week when Ambrrr's review is over and I can steal her camera.

So Excited!!!
