Back from Cleveland? well... kindof...
So.... we didn't make it to Cleveland, we ended up in State College PA instead. (Gotta love these people, they're very creative when it comes to naming towns. Frog town, Bird in Hand, Mars, Blue balls, Panic, just to name a few) Did a bit of shopping, had dinner (at Quaker Steak and Lube mmmmm!!) all sans kid-o's!! It was strange!
Here is my Knitting Olympic's sweater
As, much as I love my lil photographer sometimes.. she just isn't interested in taking pictures. Here are some lovely mirror pictures that show the shape a bit better.
I blame the fuzziness on the 75 year old mirror!
Stats:
Pattern: Hourglass sweater, last minute knitted gifts
Yarn: Finnian's rainbow, 5 skeins in lilac mountain 1 skein in green.
Needles: size 8 bamboo circ and dpns.
Time: Started February 10, finished the 23.
Size: small
My thoughts: This sweater, as easy as it is, kicked my ass at times. This is probably because I didn't really read the directions, I skimmed them. I had to rip out the collar twice, till I got it right on the third time. I can't explain my stupidity on that one right now. I have a 23 month old climbing around me, making it very, very difficult to write. I will knit this sweater again, maybe using a silk and wool blend.
I hope everyone who participated in the KO enjoyed themselves. I know I sure did!
Ok.. bath time for the monsters! Momma's got a sock to knit! : )

The sweater looks really nice! Good Job! But I have to admit that the picture of the photographer is the best one. Yes I am bias, after all she is my Granddaughter. You should see my rainbow sock in Welt Fantastic (page 73 in our favorite sock book)
