I'm running a little late today... But I have a finished object to share with you!! My Rowe Cardigan is all done! I love it!
And this picture really sums up how I feel about it:
Once I was finished with Rowe I turned to my Texture Time Shawl and have made some progress on that! I hope to get this one finished in the next couple weeks! Then I will cast on something new as a reward :) My progress here is from the orange marker out towards the pink (it is easier to see in the second picture)
And I have a new episode of my podcast up on YouTube. I show off my Rowe Cardigan in more detail there.
Welcome back for another week!! I have spent all my spare time this week working on my Rowe Cardigan and have added quite a bit to the ribbing. I am now a bit past half way through all this ribbing! I need to have eight inches and am not at just over four inches - so a way to go yet! We are back to school now, so my free time has shrunk. Oh well! Here is a picture of the cardigan all scrunched and bunched. It is tough to get a decent picture of the progress while it is all on the needles.
Here are a couple skeins of yarn I bought recently. I bought eight of this gorgeous blue and it is destined to become a Sode Cardigan (but I won't cast it on until I get a couple other things off the needles!) I bought five skeins of the gray and I am not sure what that will become - either a sweater, a vest, or a wrap.
And I have posted a new podcast where I show you my purchases and give you a better view (sort of) of my Rowe Cardigan.
Happy New Year everyone!! I missed last week (first time I have missed a week in some time! Maybe even the first missed week in YoP 8!!). Anyway, life was busy and I just did not get around to posting.
I have a couple finishes from the last time I posted and I have significant progress on one other project!
1) I finished the Boyfriend Hat for my husband's Christmas gift. He loves it and it fits him well. And I can't figure out how to rotate this. It looks right in the file and turns on it's side when I move it here...
2) I finished knitting my Advent Scarf 2018! I actually finished the knitting on Christmas Eve! I still have to block it and hope to get that done soon! I don't really have a good picture of this one yet...
3) I have made significant progress on my Rowe Cardigan! I have finished the front pieces and have sewn everything together. I am currently working on the ribbing that goes all the way around the front of the garment (up the right front, across the back of the neck, and back down the left front). This involves a TON of stitches!! I have 430 stitches all the way along the piece and it is to be knit in 2x2 ribbing for 8 inches! I have ten rows complete and estimate I need at least 45 rows to reach 8 inches. This is my focus project right now and I plan to not work on anything but this until it is complete!! It is impossible to get a decent picture of this since the stitches are all bunched up on the cable but here it is in a plastic tub:
One of my New Year's resolutions is to knit a bit more monogamously. I am finding that this suits my style the best. Even though I love casting on new projects, I find that I only tend to work on a few at a time and the rest languish. I am planning to keep my number of WIPs to a minimum during 2019!
I posted a new podcast earlier this week and will be posting an update in time for next weeks update here.
