For those of you who may be interested to know about how the Jan's going, here's a little preview:
I can't talk too much about it. Firstly, I'm sure you'll all just tune out. But I'm also trying to find my groove with it - something that it slowly starting to occur.
All I can say is that I remain in awe of its beautiful design.
Keep giving me your good knitting vibes pls! xo

Oh my!! It's looking GORGEOUS!! Brilliant, brilliant work! Sending you good vibes ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! Your tension is so even, and the pattern is fanning out delightfully -- isn't the process fine!!
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to see how you're coming along - looks fantastic! I'm so pleased it's coming together for you!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I'll say it again: I'm so impressed by you. All my years of making washcloths and afghans and you just jump straight into sweaters!
ReplyDeleteI know less than nothing about knitting, but it looks like it's coming along fabulously. :-) Sometimes cursing at the project helps whip it into shape. Or at least that's my excuse...erm...theory. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty! Have fun, even though it csn be trying, I know!
ReplyDeleteWow. That is beautiful. I really, really love the color and the design.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful so far! Keep going!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your beautiful work. I cannot believe you are a beginning knitter!

Gail: I'll show another pic when I finish the first side. Of course, your help has been invaluable!
Ms. M: If you watched me muddle through those bad hours of tinking back and swearing, you'd be saying "K, maybe a few tea towels are the way to go". But thank you :-)
CGC: OMG - I do that all the time! (Under my breath, of course).
Miss C: When it's all done, I'm sure I'll forget the pain. Like childbirth. Um, wait...
Susan: Thanks! You can make it too :-)
Raven: I'm keeping on! xo
