Most of you who know me probably already believe this. A lot of you are too nice to say it. But it's true.
My knitting friends know the saga of me never making a sweater for myself in the 10+ years I have been knitting. So what do I do you ask...??
I am
stupid woman enough to join the Sweaterboard Cross in the
2010 Ravelympics. I was going to do
Mr. Greenjeans from Knitty, and I still think it's a beautiful sweater, but I have decided on the
February Lady Sweater. A)I am a little intimidated by the cabling in Greenjeans and B)
Thora told me I should make myself one and C) I have time constraints.
C)=Big Time.
I'm using some beautiful green Highland Peruvian Wool I bought from
Elann.com.
(A lot of wool. I am not insubstantially sized)
I am set to cast on tonight at 8pm my time. I WILL finish this one, or you can all beat me with a wet noodle!!
OK, and to add to my
insanity productivity I am also finishing squares for
Victory Junction--I have until the checkered flag flies for Daytona, which gives me a couple days to finish up a few and send them out to be joined with fellow
Fast Girls who are also working on them. And I am trying to find time to knit a pair of mittens for
Afghans for Afghans latest project.
Well, at least it keeps me out of trouble!! And I do have incentive, besides helping other people and finally knitting myself a sweater--this little piece of yummy goodness from
The Loopy Ewe is waiting for me at the finish line!
