with a cape and a hat she's a natural dancer

I was very lucky...

Look at that. Look at that little tail of yarn. That was all that was left after adding the two thumbs. Very close indeed, but so pleased that it was just enough.

Ta-dah! Finished mittens.




A few inches and voila! Finished socks.


Some thread, patience and a zipper, and there is a new sweater for the fall.




Flushed with success, I cast on for more.

I really like how the cardigan turned out. Which pattern did you use?

hooray for finishing...

Ribby Cardi by Chic Knits. Very well written pattern and fun to knit.

Thanks! When do you want your socks? :D

Definitely jealous, I'm STILL working on the same pair of socks!

Beautiful cardigan, very sporty and "go everywhere". You should be proud of yourself. :)

Aw, thanks! It was really fun to knit. This is the first one I've assembled for pieces and the making up was actually kind of fun. :D

I've been working on these socks since.... o, June or so. :D I just cast on for a pair of Jaywalkers now.

Wow, that cardigan is hot!

As usual, all I can say is WOW WOW WOW!! I'm always so impressed with how much you can knit with just two hands!!

Oh and that's an awesome song, by the way. "She's got ants in her pants and she's gonna dance!"

Wow, that cardigan is awesome. It fits you so well! Congrats on a project well-done!

Mucho squee! Everything looks FABULOUS. You have been the knitting hellion, haven't you? I feel so lame in comparison. I still haven't turned the heel of Kneesock of Doom #2! *sob*

Thanks! I'm going to wash and block it again to relax the ribs a bit so they work more like they are supposed to.

You should get them finished up by Halloween, so you can wear them for that and for Anticraft birthdayness. :D *cracks whip*

Well, that is the goal. But you know how I am with goals. I like the little WHOOSH! sound they make as they fly by.

I have to knit a spider first. (Which is the goal for this weekend.)

Haha, yea, I love it. :D

Well, you have to at least be on the leg by the end of October. :D

You mention the music, but what yarn did you use for your lovely sweater?

[identity profile] starfallz.livejournal.com 2007-09-28 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I used two colors of Cascade 220. The light green is color 9460 (Dune) and the darker green is 9338 (Lichen).
