Well, I have finished the Katelyn Basic sweater with much trepidation about the final result. This sweater was intended for my older g/d, but she thought that it was too short waisted. This seems to be a common complaint with this pattern, but should be easy to remedy the next time. I am not too happy with the sleeves (too long for Gracie) or how I sewed them in, but as this is my first sweater, there is much room for improvement. I am thinking that I would like to do a raglan type sweater next fall. It is already feeling like spring here, so our winter is almost over and the mood for knitting sweaters is slipping away as well. I did make a matching pair of tube socks for Gracie as well...mainly as practice learning the majic loop. I liked how they turned out and am making another pair for myself. I am hoping to do a pair of socks that have a heel next and have bought some pretty DK yarn with that in mind.
I have also started a ruana,a Knitted Shoulder Blanket : http://www.joann.com/static/project/0608/PA00015.pdf using a pattern from Jo-Ann's and their Sensations Angel Hair yarn. The yarn is so soft & fuzzy & lightweight....just hope that I can finish it before the end of our cool weather.

The sweater turned out great! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff at the group, here and on Ravelry.

Angie...thanks for your kind comment, I look upon this first sweater as a good learning experience and really everything that I am knitting falls into this category now...LOL. I really enjoyed the group meeting and look forward to seeing you there again and even maybe learning something new.
