30 Day Sweater - DONE with 4 days to spare!


I finished my sweater today!!!  The last few rounds of the turtle neck were a little tortuous with the sweater hanging off and that Oh So Close! to being done feeling.  I just popped it on to get a photo and its now sitting in the sink taking a bath.  I am super happy with it.

Franken Blanket


I am knitting on the Sock Yarn Blanket and its going pretty well.  I love that each little square is a single element, so accomplishment is felt when a square is completed!

30 Day Sweater Update


Today is day 20 for my 30 Day Sweater.  I should have 1/4 of the sleeve done today.  As you can see, I have much more than that.  I plan on doing a long turtle neck (about 8" to fold over to 4") and there are only 2 days at the end of the plan to finish the neck.  I wanted to get ahead on the sleeves to make sure a had more days to complete the neck and weave in all ends.  

I have about 5 1/2" left on the first sleeve to complete.

Name that Pattern Contest!


Name this pattern!  Please post your entry on the Ravelry board.  Winner will be selected by random number generator - there are two possible chances to win!  The random number post automatically wins, but if for some reason I chose another suggested name as the name of the pattern, that post also wins!

What you win: A copy of the pattern and a skein of the yarn it was made for!  Aura by Revelations of a Delusional Knitter 20% Angora/80% Wool fingering weight yarn!

You may enter multiple times, please post each suggested name in a separate post.

By suggesting a name as an entry, you are granting me the right to use that name as the title name of the pattern.

30 Day Sweater Update

I started a new skein on my sweater and was so happy that the color repeat lined up perfectly!


It has a muted striping pattern in it.


The yarn in the skein looks pretty blah, but its knitting up wonderfully!!
