I decided after my success with the baby sweater to finally tackle a sweater for myself. I've been drooling over the February Lady Sweater for months, and finally felt my knitting could handle it. Yeah... it is proving I am still a newbie knitter! I restarted the stupid thing 5 or 6 times, swore at the buttonholes, and now am at the eyelet row (which I am changing to a kfb). I have one stitch short, which means somewhere I forgot an increase. Oh well, I'm not ripping it out, I'll fudge it when I do the sleeves. However, I thought I figured out the increases to be evenly spaced, got 2/3 through and realized it wasn't working the way I expected. I HATE ripping out from the circular needles, especially with so many stitches. Grrr!!!
In good news, I ordered some yarn to make my daughter a pretty pink sweater, and myself the Whisper Cardigan. I have the adorable little Elijah elephant on my needles, but had to get some shorter DPN's- I'll be knitting that when they arrive. He's fun, and I don't swear at the toys like I do sweaters :)
