Just in case some of my blogger friends and non-knitters were wondering, KAL stands for Knit ALong. I know I can knit anything I want at any time I want, but this Summer Sweater KAL gave me boundaries for what type of project and a deadline to be done. My knitting wish list is quite long and grew even longer when I started seeing all the other great projects people are working on for the KAL. Taylor keeps asking if I’ve started on her knitting project yet and I keep telling her I’m working on the pattern. It’s true, but two projects on needles is enough for me right now. I love my two projects so much I know they will be put the back burner once Taylor knows that hers has been started. Plus I am hoping she forgets about it and I can surprise the girls with the completed projects at Christmas. Is anyone else already thinking about Christmas gifts yet? I found several items on Target clearance and have them stashed away already. Let’s just hope I don’t forget about them between now and then.
Okay… back to knitting. I’ve made some progress on my sweater. Not enough for it to look like a sweater yet, but you can see my progress here and here. I haven’t spent as much time knitting due to birthday festivities over the weekend and but I did get a couple of rounds done. Only a few more before I start arm holes. I’m a little nervous about the armholes and neck hole. Cross your fingers that I get this right. This yarn is too beautiful to screw this sweater up.
For some reason the pattern doesn’t want to photograph well for me. I hope this close-up gives you a better idea of the open weave pattern across the body.
Also cross your fingers because I will need to wind another ball of yarn soon and I don’t think my winder is playing nice yet.
