January 05, 2005I really haven't looked at these two sweaters for a bit and find myself having to familiarize my self with the pattern again. And not so much with the technical aspects in any way, but just to rediscover the groove that I was on with it so I can feel inspired to get back to them and actually finish them. I don't view myself as a chronic unfinisher (not a word?), but I am well aware of my knitting rhythm and know if it is knocked too far off that it is difficult to strike up the boogie and return to my normal knitting pace. At this point, I think some small, quick knits cropped up into the scene and changed my focus (in a good way). I think if I stop a knit because I need to move on, then I willfully go back to it. But for some reason if a new knit steals the show and changes my focus the knit falls by the wayside for sure. Now these two knits at are a kind of too close to completion to give up on but I'm hoping a little recap will put me on my way. At this point they only need a seaming and collar plus pockets and belt for chrissie. I must say I am pretty excited about the pockets and belt as I don't have a sweater that has either of these elements. Think I may have just stumbled across a reason to pick that one up and knit again... And now back to socks....a big woop 'd doo (don't know where that came from) thanks for all the help and encouragement on the subject of sock knitting. I'm still reading through all the fantastic information and plan on posting a bit on it for easy one stop shopping for me to reference while I'm on my quest for even more socks. Thank you, thankyouverymuch (i'm not quite over that photo as it seems hee, hee). And I don't think this is the last time I plan on revisiting it, lol. Comments
I think the pearly buttons look WONDERFUL on Flo. They bring out the lavendar in the pinky color. I'm thinking about making a big bulky sweater coat thing... they just look so easy to love. Keep on keepin' on, Froggy! M Posted by: Mim at January 5, 2005 06:53 PMI love Audrey...oops I mean Crissie. She is going to be a fabulous cosy sweater. Can't wait to see them all finished. I don't know what is wrong with me lately...I am not in the mood to knit socks at all lately. At least everyone else is! :-) Posted by: Eilene at January 5, 2005 11:07 PMi'd gotten so wrapped up in your sock soiree, i forgot about your other projects also. they both look great. you're so close to finishing them. i agree the buttons for Flo will be a great touch. Posted by: lynette at January 5, 2005 11:22 PMI was wondering when we'd see Flo. Kind of like my Peace Cardi - sometimes the hardest part comes at the end. Posted by: Julia at January 5, 2005 11:27 PMI would throw that picture of Mini in at every chance too--she is just that adorable! :) Wow, loving those sweaters. I know what you mean about setting things down though... I am nervous that when I get back to some of my things, I won't remember! Take care Froggy :) Posted by: Lolly at January 5, 2005 11:43 PMThe elvis pic is too much. Your socks are coming along fabulously, I love that blue! Posted by: Jenny at January 6, 2005 03:26 AMAWWWW! I love, love, love that picture of Missy Mini!! oh the sweaters are great too! :> They are going to be beautiful. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that pic! I love it! So when does she start her Vegas tour? :P Those sweaters are great too. And I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying socks so much. All this talk of socks, it's gotten me in the mood to do another pair! Posted by: Lisa P at January 6, 2005 10:08 AMOh I like Chrissy - such a gorgeous big cardi! And super chunky - you should pick her up as she'll be done in no time :) Posted by: jen at January 6, 2005 10:25 AMlove the picture of 'elvis' lol Posted by: cara at January 6, 2005 10:53 AMIt will feel good to finish them up. I like socks for portable, quick knits but always have a sweater (or two) in the works. Posted by: margene at January 6, 2005 11:24 AMThose are gonna look great once they're finished. I love the pinky color and think the belt and pockets are gonna look great! I totally understand all the mysterious dynamics of the knitting groove :) Posted by: Vicki at January 6, 2005 02:46 PMI love Chrissie, I'm considering making either that one or Fanny from the most recent book. I think I have the same shade of Big Wool as you - we could be twins! Posted by: kerrie at January 6, 2005 02:51 PMwelcome back chrissy and flo! that is what I hate about picking up old wips...getting used to the pattern again I totally dig that picture of mini...she's TCB="takin care of business" Posted by: heather at January 6, 2005 03:51 PMooooh, those are some good-looking sweaters! I can't wait to see them finished. Posted by: tania at January 6, 2005 10:46 PMWow, that big wool sweater looks gorgeous! That's going to be so great when it's all done.
