That.. was a Close One..

I feel slightly ashamed.. I let my domain-name expire for 3 days.. I knew it was up in September and I thought I had plenty of time.. but obviously not. lol.

I hope it didn't scare anyone.. I'm still alive! I've just been sick.. and I don't like doing much when I'm sick.. I just lay on the couch and watch TV.. It's a kind of sad existance.

I do have some of my first sleeve on the TCC done.. I just hit a little snag when I went from round knitting to flat for the shoulder.. somehow the wrong side rows are on the odd-numbered rows which throws off the cabling.. so somehow I have to get it back on track.. I think if I cut the yarn and start the yarn on the other side then it should work out.. but I'm not totally sure.. I do plan on trying it soon though.

I'm also concerened that they are going to be too short.. but I won't know that until the sweater is put together..

But anyway.. I am still here and I plan to be here for atleast the next 12 months.. lol.

I will be posting again as soon as I work out the sleeve thing.

Left and Right.. Just Right.

Late last night.. at around 1AM I finnally did it... I finnally finished... The Right Front.

It looks amazingly similar to the Left Front.. but.. you know.. for the right.. Which is just what I wanted ofcourse.



So there we have the Back, the Right Front, and the Left Front... and I will admit to you here and now that I have no idea how I am supposed to seam those together.. The collar construction really confuses me and I have no clue what I'm doing..

But I'm not going to worry about it right now.

Next on the agenda is the sleeves.. and hopefully working them in the round. I'm going to try my darnedest to do them in the round because I personally know that a seam down the inside of my elbow drives me totally insane. I will persevere. If I can make it through the right front... I can make sleeves round... Right?

I hope so.

In Jaywalker news.. well.. there isn't much.. I got almost down to the toe and decided to try the sock on.. and.. er... it didn't.. fit. It was too tight to pull over my ankle.. So I increased my stitches to try again and it really seems too big and the yarn is doing something funky to the striping pattern that I really don't like.. so I'm thinking I might try a bigger needle size and go back to the first number of stitches to see what happens. Unfortunately I can't take a picture of the stripey weirdness right now because the sock is in the car.. and the car is at Wal*Mart with my husband.. So maybe once I work out what I'm going to actually end up with I'll post a "before and after" picture to show the weirdness.

Speaking of pictures.. I do finnally have a picture of the bear I made for my Aunt Nelda (The one I finished in the police car.) Unfortunately my dad misunderstood what kind of picture I wanted.. so this will just have to do:


This is my Mammy and Pappy, the bear, and their dog Sam


I wish the detail of the bear was better.. but I guess I just have to take what I can get in this case.. cause if I heard right the bear is already in Atlanta with my aunt.

So there you have it.. and I am really eager to try the sleeves out.. so I must go do that before I get too tired to think straight.. lol.

Sleeves.. in the round... I can do it!! (I hope.)
