They're so pretty and well, SPRINGY! I love them, despite my hesitations about the yarn choice. They're a bit snug (silly me realized I've been knitting them at a tighter gauge than called for... not sure this yarn would've worked at all at a looser gauge though!) So, my pretty Spring Forwards are done, blocked, and just a touch damp still. Plenty of yarn left over to maybe make my niece a little pair... I'd make my daughter some, but I don't think the yarn will hold up to her abuse!
I've made a little more progress on my daughter's sweater. I've decided to use the lace pattern from Knitty's Helena on the bottom portion of the sweater. I was very close to the stitch numbers for that sweater anyhow, so I increased 4, and am on my way with the lace. Too bad it is so big, and well, I am not really enjoying knitting it.
In other news, I'm heading back to school myself, so my knitting time will be even further reduced- yikes! Wish me luck!
