Sleeves

Well, I'm working on the sleeves, getting close to being done, doing them two at a time again on a circular needle.
Loving it .

3 needle bind-off

Well, I just learned the 3 needle bind off. I don't think I will ever do shoulder seams any other way now.  It worked so well, I love it.

Here's a pic of it.

Kaya's sweater

Well, I made my goal today of finishing the back of the sweater.  My goal for tomorrow is to get the front started and finished, we'll see if I can get to the sleeves, I think I'll do the sleeves for this one the same as the pink sweater, both at once on circular needle.  It worked fairly well, and they were both the same length and everything.
Well, I'm off to bed, night.

Whoohoo!

I hardly ever win anything, I can't say I haven't because I've won a few things here and there, but I just found out that I won a Cate Masters contest on Coffee Time Romance.com.  So cool.  Don't know what I won, I think it's a book or something, but I love books as much as I love yarn, so bring it on.  :)
Just had to share my excitement.

Kaya's sweater

Well, here is what I have so far.  It's just a start but plan to have the back complete by this evening and hopefully started on the front.
I think it'll be pretty.  Have only done one hood so far, but it was fairly easy, so shouldn't be a problem on this one.

Okay, found my next Christmas project to start.
I'm doing the Lion Brand hoodie pattern http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/khs-hoodsweater.html
I just happened to have 2 skeins of homespun in my stash, they aren't the color in the pattern, but will be cute none the less. I also have a 3rd skein, but of a different color, wish I had two of that one, it's a little more colorful, but the color I'm using is Rococo.
Anyway, I'll post pics when I get more than 4 rows on the needles. lol

Christmas project

Well, .here's what I've got so far today, still a lot of work to go, but getting it figured out.

Labor Day

Well, it's Monday, Labor Day.  I haven't posted in a few days because I was so engrossed in trying to figure out this pattern, here's a pic so far.  I need to fix the bottom of the O but its better, I'm just trying to get it all worked out right now.
I'm still working on the weight loss, doing good, did have ice cream the other night, but worked it into my calorie alotment.  Got good exercise yesterday too, we took the dogs running at the Nature Park, not sure who got more worn out.  :)
Well, I'm off to do some more work. I'll check in later.  Have a great holiday Ya'll.

Designing, hard work.

Well, I'm designing a scarf for my best friends husband for Christmas.  I thought, naively, that a simple pattern would be simple to design, NOT.
But I think I've got it down now, I'll post it when it's done.
I've been so absorbed in it this morning, I forgot all about the laundry that's in the machines.

Sweater

YEAH!!!!!   Finished. I'm not too sure about my sleeve seams, think I'll go over them a bit, but otherwise, looking good I think.
Again for anybody interested it's the shawl collar sweater by Debbie Bliss.
I used Vanna's Choice Rose Mist.
