Ready for February

Posted by Cheryl on Oct 13 2008 | 1. Knit on Monday

A quick knit?  Nope.

This lovely little project, labeled a ‘quick knit’ by everyone I know, was not so quick for me.  I’m slow and get easily sidetracked.  But even though a Janie-Come-Lately, I’m happy with the outcome.  Fits great.  Love the full-on belled sleeves.  Had enough yarn.  Colour is a stunner.  Will definitely be a staple to autumn wearables.  Been done for a week or so but can’t quite swing the self-photo, so a stand in will have to do.

Pattern:  February Lady Sweater, by Pamela Wynne of Flint Knits
Yarn:  Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, in New Age Teal,  just under 6 skeins
Buttons:  Pewter from Colonial Williamsburg

    Really lovely! That is a beautiful color.

    I breezed through the body of my FLS and got stuck on the sleeves. Made the first too short, so I need to go back and add more to it. And the second…I started it, twice, and both times I cast it on inside out. TWO TIMES?? Who does that?? Someone who needed to put her FLS in time out, that’s who! I’ve made a whole other sweater since sitting it aside. I really need to get back to it soon so I can enjoy it this season. The body fit beautifully when I tried it on, so I really do want to finish it. But I’m the midst of Socktoberfest craziness now…must find time to work on the sweater between the socks!

    As the world’s slowest knitter, I am truly impressed. I mean knitted *and* assembled in the same season! I should be starting my summer knitting about now…

    [...] nominally for Socktoberfest.  After finishing the cardy, I was ready for a smaller, easier-to-pick-up-and-put-down project.  Realistically, both socks [...]
