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.
