Wow...seems like a long time since I've had a chance to log in and add anything new. I keep asking the Big Guy upstairs for more hours in a day. Like many others...I'm still waiting. Working full-time and going to university part-time does not leave a lot of down time to devote to my most favourite hobby. So...today I am making the time to add details about two completed projects. I thought it was going to be three however, I've just realized that I have not yet finished what really was the first sweater I made right after making the chip scarves. Those blasted ends will not weave themselves. Nor will that button jump into place on the darn thing. While I'm looking for a few minutes later today to finish that one off, there are two other sweaters that are ready to make their debut. I'll kick it off with two patterns from the Summer 2012 edition of Crochet Magazine. I can't share either pattern as you really have to be a subscriber to the magazine. It is well worth it! I've constantly have Christmas on the brain year round and am always looking for gift ideas. This one was fun and easy to make and will be made again....and again. I see colours and wrapping paper and bows and trees and many happy faces when they open and receive this gem.
The finishing edge on the armhole was so cool to make. It was worked left to right and looks amazing!!! I'm certain to work that one into other projects. I'll keep you posted on that. Okay...thank goodness for a the save feature on this blog software. Don't know how I managed to accidentally close the browser before publishing this thing but that's exactly what I did and immediately thought -- cripes I have to start all over again. Smart cookie here saved and only lost the last few thoughts. No biggee. And really they were not worth the $0.02 folks are often willing to pay.
