I'm almost done with the first sleeve.As you can see, I'm not knitting the sleeves in the round. I really don't like knitting cables in the round. I like having the "wrong" side to knit the knits, purl the purls. It's like a row "off". I also don't mind seaming.
I'm also thinking I'm going to work the body in pieces as well. It's a psycological thing for me. Having the entire body on the needles seems to take sooo long that I don't feel any progress.
Tomorrow starts the Knitting Olympics and I'm still not done with my training (the Jaywalker socks). I could put the Spring Forward down and finish the second sock today. If I wanted to. I'm also thinking that the Spring Forward might become my Olympics knitting.
I'm mostly a process knitter. I enjoy starting things, but once I see what the pattern is going to look like, I lose interest and start something new. This sweater is so completely different (hence I'm on attempt #3). I WANT this sweater. I WANT this sweater RIGHT NOW!!! I want to wear it as soon as possible, so I obsessively knit on it.
So I'm off to knit on Obsession.
Wow-- you're breaking records already. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow? The Olympics start tomorrow?!!! I think Cassie's right -- the hardest challenge for some of us will be to stick to our chosen project for the duration... --Sylvia, sadly tucking the fleet of projects in a box for the next few weeks.
ReplyDeleteCan't talk... must knit Spring Forward....
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm so happy that I've stuck with this sweater. It's been it!
