I think finishing my Ravelympics events so rapidly made me lose my mojo. I wound yarn into balls, matched it to one pattern and another and then…nothing. So I decided to knit that baby sweater that I needed and made all of this progress:
and I’m not sure that I like it. The neck seems to wide and I fudged the instructions by adding the neck and button bands on as I knit. It may have been a mistake. So I may re-group and knit more hats for the Ravelympics. I got Itty Bitty Hats from the library and plan to make a couple hats from it, thus satisfying both Hat Dash knitting and baby gift knitting.
I also got some great mail today, my tea swap package!
You can click through to flickr for details. I can tell you this much though, a lot of that chocolate is gone now and the Market spice tea’s aroma is calling me from the cabinet:)
























I see what you mean about that baby sweater. Perhaps pull it out and try again? You can always modify the pattern to make the neck less wide, too. I just came across a great pattern for a baby sweater today (posted on my blog).
And that tea package looks amazing! How would one get involved in such swaps as this?
Gah, has it been that long since I came to this blog?? It seems like you’ve been posting every day for a week, lol! While I haven’t been posting at all. I’m glad to see Ravelympics is going well for you! Send some mojo this way.
