The good: I have made progress on my March sweater project. If this was 50% of a sweater, I think it's safe to say I'm at roughly 70%. The body is done, and I cast-on a sleeve. The bad: I'm working on the first sleeve. Of two. I could just throw caution to the wind and make it a sweater vest. It might be sexy. What do you think? The ugly: there are only three (and a half if you count tonight) days left to the month. Two of those days are work days; that's 16hrs gouged out of potential knitting time. 
I'm not down for the count, not yet, but it's going to take a miracle, at minimum, obscene amounts of coffee, to have this sweater steamed and seamed (dare I even mention the ends that need to be woven in? Look at them, sweater guts, spewing out.) and ready to wear before bedtime Saturday. And, well, I'm just not sure I have a photo finish in me this month. 
It's probably time to start exploring my project options if I plan to have a sweater before April.

This is neither bad or ugly - it is just good! What a fabulous project! Not sure about finishing in time though - there are a lot of ends there..... 3/28/2012 01:40:26 am
Holy cow -- that sweater is spectacular! I SO feel your pain on weaving in the ends, but promise that it will be worth the torture. Your Mad Men dress is awesome, too. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go click the "follow" button on your blog. ;)

After weaving in the ends on my Hey Teach, I decided in future I'm going to do a few as I go. And there weren't nearly as many as you have! Good luck getting it done! It's beautiful! 3/28/2012 09:12:26 pm
It is going to me AMAZING and totally worth it (even the ends!!!)
I loathe weaving in ends. I love colorwork, but hate the threads left over... Have you considered a sick day??? That might help you reach your goal, but just wouldn't work if you have to take one every month to make your deadline! 3/29/2012 08:23:49 pm
Don't worry if it won't be done by Saturday - it will be just as gorgeous in April, too :) 4/8/2012 08:03:53 pm
OMG! I want that sweater so bad! I don't care if it's been 90 degrees here in Southern California...I would risk dehydration for that sweater. Leave a Reply. |
