Hooray for 5" DPNs!
Aug. 19th, 2008 01:52 amI am doing the finishing touches on the kiddo's sweater.
As a side note, I discovered that while I remembered knitting her at least one sweater, I've apparently made her FOUR sweaters over the years.
One cream-colored vest with a cable up the front.
One multi-colored double stranded wool vest.
One two-tone pink sweater with mid-length sleeves and stranded hearts around the chest.
And one pink and gray crocheted sweater.
Yes, I'll take/post pics at some point. I've posted pics before of three of them, but not the cream cable vest.
Anyways, I am doing the finishing touches, which means picking up the sleeve pocket stitches and knitting the insides of the pockets. I got through an entire round on my 7" DPNS before remembering that I bought 5" DPNs.
OH MY GOSH. These are AWESOME for pockets. Or anything tiny. They're much easier to mess about with. I want another set or two in different sizes.
When I get tired of messing about with these, I'm going to go ahead and start the sleeves for a sweater. I'm not sure what sweater, mind you, but something will get started today, before I get this project off the needles.
I've got the idea for the sweater I want for myself. It'll be longsleeved, with bell sleeves, but ribbed and smaller around the body. Basically, it should say "I'm not wearing this sweater tighter because I don't know how fat I am*-- I'm wearing it tighter because I look awesome in it."
I will do a provisional caston for this sweater tonight. I think I'm gonna do edge lace on the sleeves, but I'll worry about that later. Argh! I forgot my colored pencils!
*244.6 pounds, this morning.
