Two projects going.....still working on Kat's sweater. They spell it Katheryn and it's taken me YEARS to get the spelling right.
So, I've nearly finished one sleeve! I'm down to the cuff. Still working sans pattern so am hoping this will turn out well in the end. Began the sleeve at the arm hole on double points. Will begin the second one the same way. Interesting that a "faint" outline spirals down the sleeve. I rather like it. It doesn't show in a bold way, just enough to make it interesting. I figure it has something to do with hooking the last stitch on the needle to the following needle while I knit.
So, only one sleeve to go.
I have a Christening dress on the LK150. Again without a pattern. I'm just figuring this out as I go. Kat's sweater was inspired by the cable/lace pattern on a sweater. The Christening Gown is just because I can't find a suitable pattern for the knitting bed. SO, I'm just taking different techniques such as beginning with a ruffle at the bottom and going from there. Have to hope that I remember on the second part what I did on the first. I don't even know if this will turn out to be the front or the back of the gown. Guess I should decide that before I get to the top. SHEESE, I have to wonder what goes on in my mind sometimes.
Will post pictures at a later time.
I have 8 shrugs to make for a convent. Hope to begin this project next week. Shrugs on knitting beds take very little time so I should have the made for the sisters very quickly. I'm tickled that I can do something for them.
THEN, I have four more sweaters to make. I'm not busy am I? Will update and post pictures as I can.
