So I did some more work on the eldest's sweater last night. It's still in relatively early stages. The first piece in the pattern is the back. It's in a rib stitch for the first part, with several switches between needle sizes. We're through that and working on a oh-! Just forgot the name of the pattern. Anyway, alternating between knitting one row and then purling the next. Garter stitch? So, have to do that until it measures 14 inches. I'm at 10 and a half inches so far. Then the pattern needs to be expanded.
She saw the pattern in the baby blue that it had displayed for the picture and loved it. She asked for it in burgundy because it'll match her pants and skirt selections better and thinks it would make a nice addition to her more professional looking clothing. I agree, and if I work hard on it over the spring and summer, it will be ready at a perfect time to wear, since it's going to be heavier than just a shirt. Try to get a picture up of it at some point.

And Yet Another Blog
Okay, so I'm getting blog happy here. But it occurred to me as I was posting last night, that I've taken up a lot of crafty stuff again. I don't consider cooking and baking to be a hobby craft, just a hobby and very necessary thing. But I would, since i have so many projects on the go, keep a record of them. So posts and pictures seemed like a good idea. Also give me an idea of where I am with things. So once I get that organized, I can keep track of it here.
