wednesday update

ok so i finished the first sweater for the new little cousins - last night - while watching gilmore girls, the guardian and judging amy - all great shows! - sewed the first sleeve in and then knitted the second sleeve and sewed it in and then did the sc edging and decided to make buttons. its pretty cute if i may say so myself. (ok i AM getting a camera sooon and can put photos). the double moss stitch gives it some nice texture and the mutli colored yarn makes nice waves of color.

so today i cast on for the second sweater - tried to figure out another stitch to use but after perusing the volume one of walker's treasury realized that i only really wanted to do some lace or cable patterns and hate doing those unless in the round... so since i didnt want to experiment with steeking on this little cotton baby sweater - i am back to making the same one above BUT with a few changes - am not doing the buttonholes as i go - will do a seed stitch band all around the sweater when finished and add the buttonholes then - this way i just concentrate on getting the body done - should get some done tonight - if i can stop revising my blog templates and/or teaching myself html - by redoing my webpages.

also found some buttons i have to use for the aran cardiagan (the red one) and really am going to finish those sweaters tomorrow so i can mail them to the mom before he outgrows them all! the last photo is scary he is getting so big!

was going to do some garden work today, but really bad allergies hit in the late afternoon - someone is doing work on a brownstone across the street - i couldnt tell what they are doing but it sure is creating a lot of dust and debris and with the weather being cool i had my windows open and now am paying in spades . yuck. oh well, knitting double moss doesnt require to omuch concentration (just counting to two) and the body is a fairly large piece of work to do..
