Sleeves and Body Come Together

October 25th, 2004

I spent all weekend on my Zimmerman sweater. I want to get it finished promptly because I am going to start on Klaralund right after. I’m expecting my Klaralund pattern in the mail today (yay!) So I finished up the first sleeve, knitted the second sleeve, decided that the first sleeve was too big around, ripped it to the begining of the increases, and finished it up at around 5:30 yesterday evening amid “dueling stereos” at the apartment complex next door. (Do these people every stop partying? For the love of God! give me a freaking break! anyhoo….) I put everything on one long needle, making sure the underarm sleeves were lined up, and am working about an inch even before I begin with the raglan shaping. Here’s a pic:

My hands are tired! I’m talking muscle soreness here! My right hand is getting some muscle tone from all of this non-stop kniting

I brought my La Boheme “safari” yarn to work today. I’m almost done with that orange scarf that I started six months ago, and will start on a scarf using the La Boheme. I might have to find another skein of it somewhere. It shouldn’t be too hard. I discovered that my LYS, the Golden Fleece, carries this exact yarn! I love that place. I don’t know if I should just do straight garter or do something a little bit fancier. I’ve been eyeing Theresa’s multidirectional scarf that she just finished. That pattern looks intriguing. Hmmmm.

That’s all from this knitting corner. Hope you all have a great Monday!
