Finished Project > Hogwarts Sweater

Here's my finished Hogwart's sweater. As per the norm, it took way longer than expected! I ripped each piece out at least once. I sewed the arms on inside out..twice. But it's done! My first full size sweater turned out pretty good for a beginner :)

What I Learned

- working with colour

- seaming

- triple check before seaming a piece on

- ribbing

Now what to make next???

Too Many Projects

I seem to be taking on too many crochet and knitting projects 

all at once and none of them are getting done :/

First, I am running out of wool for this poncho.  Thought I was stash busting now realizing I'm going to be way short.  That means I'm discouraged and don't want to finish.

Second, I really need a pair of slippers.  I never make patterns from the knitting magazines I buy so I'm making some from this issue of Knit Simple.  Simple? Yes, but also boring! So not much progress there...

Third, this sweater.  I already hate it and I'm looking for a new pattern so I can frog all this out.  I totally sized it wrong and the "ladies" will never fit in there lol

Fourth, these hexa-grannys.  Maybe someday will be an afghan?  Maybe will sit infinitely at the bottom of my knitting basket? Who knows, but I haven't touched them in months.

Unfinished Business {3}

Another sweater I started ages ago...

I don't even think it was intended for MY baby but it's his now :)

All it needed was buttons, and I have tons of buttons...Love the giant-ness of the hood :)

Pattern here!

Knitting progress

So my first non-square one kind of stitch project is well under way! I am excited that it actually looks decent! (see that row counter..yeah that's right, totally knitting in the round :))

Blythe Sweater

Knit up a little sweater for my fakey Blythe out of some sock yarn I had lying around (I don't even make socks....I think I'm a hoarder...)

You can get the pattern from Ravelry or here!!
