I've been knitting away at my sweater and it's slowly growing:
I can sort of try it on, and I think it might just fit. I lengthened the body about an inch, so it should be long enough. I never mentioned that the last sweater I finished was a little too big, and the yarn was so bulky it just wasn't flattering, so I haven't had a lot of confidence in my sweater knitting abilities. I'm feeling better about it now, and I think I'll unravel that other one and make something else that will be flattering. There are a lot of sweaters that I want to knit, but I also love socks, and I have much better luck there, so it's hard not to just keep knitting socks. Also, I came across this picture on flickr the other day, and decided that I want my sock drawer to look like that someday.
Speaking of knitting, how did I miss this:
I really like Debbie Bliss yarns and patterns, and now a whole magazine full? I want to make a few things in here. That wrap on the cover is pretty, and I think it would be a good mindless knitting project, since it's mostly stockinette. I totally missed the premier issue, this is the second one. Obviously I need to read more knitting blogs.
And one last little bit of needle work, I am trying my hand at creating my own sampler of sorts:
There's not a whole lot to see yet, but how about that green linen? I like it!
I also am planning on doing that mushroom tutorial this weekend, if I can manage to pick up some more clay. I'll do my best to get it up here by Sunday night. Don't forget to leave a comment on this post if you want to have a chance to win a set of three mushrooms!
