Startin to Look Like Somethin Ain't it?
I even tried it on earlier and the neckline seems to be working out really well... Grumperina sure does know her patterns..
I had a bit of a meltdown when it came to casting on for the arm holes.. but I finnally figured out that I had to turn the work *around* to get it to work...
..Atleast.. I think that's how you're supposed to do it....
Ofcourse.. I haven't knitted on Ribby2 at all.. not since last Thursday while I was at work.. it's even in my bag mid-row... dangerous... I really should fix that.
I guess I really can't work on more than one project at once... but it really does make more sense for me to get my Voli finished.. I'd actually be able to wear it when I got it done... Ribby2 would be atleast 2 months away from wear... Not that I'm close to done or anything.. I'm just trying to rationalise putting the project off.. lol.
Anyway.. I like how it's turning out... I think once I complete the Voli I'll officially promote myself to "Intermediate Knitter".. Ooo.. fancy.
How do you decide what you are anyway? It's not like there is a list.. or a quiz or anything..
..I'm hungry....
I'll probably get to the stripes on my Voli tomarrow... Woo stripes!

Yes, you're right about turning it around to cast on the stitches for under the arm, or sleeve - I really enjoy the 'neck down' style of knitting, it's cool how it starts to take shape and all of the sudden it has arms! hahaha I'm working on a neck down sweater now, I have only one sleeve left - although I miscalculated my quantity of green for the stripes, so I'll probably run out of it. Maybe I'll just reverse the stripe pattern on the other sleeve just to confuse people. ha
Mica & I "buttoned" you on our blog! (if that's ok)
Congratulations on Graduating to'Intermediate'!!

I'm a tiny short woman who loves to knit clothes that actually fit me. I first learned to knit when I was about 10 but I never got beyond knit and purl. I didn't pick up knitting again till about 2 years ago, and now with the help of tons of library books, I'm chugging along and I think I'm pretty darn good : ) I'm married, and love my Australian husband dearly.
