I have CO & ripped out 3 different sweater patterns just this past week! Let alone the socks, slippers, and wash cloths that are calling me!
I have managed to finish my Hey Teach just in time to wear it to April's baby shower! No one could believe that I made it myself (which I take as a compliment). It did wind up being a little to tight so I wore it over a cami with just the top button closed. The Mr. asked me if I was going to keep it or give it away (I usually give everything I make away)- I am not sure still. I am trying to lose weight and in 15 or 20 lbs it will fit perfectly. But, also it would fit my mother and I haven't given her a sweater in a while. It would also fit my younger sister nad I've never given her anything that I've knit. So, we will see...I can always make another ;o)
I have Mr. Greenjeans ONT right now. I am using size 8 cable needles and some black acrylic that I have too much of. How I long to knit with nicer yarns but, budget won't allow it right now and I still have to knit! I hope it softens up quite a bit when it is washed! I modified the pattern slightly by knitting the neck trim and button bands in garter stitch as I make the sweater. I'm not to fond of picking-up stitches and adding the button band after I spent all the time knitting the sweater. The neckband is curling slightly so I will have to add a row or two of a crocheted edging to tame it. I found the most beautiful button for it already! It looks more like a brooch than a button.
I am already thinking onto Spring knits. I do not have a lot of nice Spring tops in my wardrobe so, time to find some great patterns! Living in the South I would like them to be cotton and Goddess knows I have tons of it! So, any suggestions for nice patterns for BBW?
