I Know....

Yes, I know it has been forever since I have updated. Somehow life became much more busy since finishing those essays, 3 final exams and 4 more essays descended on my life and made me too busy to update for a while. Then family and hair dying also made it much more difficult, especially coupled with the moving plans that have happened. So now hopefully I will be able to update, as well as get some knitting done.

So here is my stocking, almost done. So much more completed than the last time I had posted. I have one more round to do on the double pointed needles and then the kitchner graft or whatever it is called and then I just have to felt it. This will make me much happier since it means that I have actually finished something, something that hasn't happened much lately. Especially since the dishclothes I was doing for Christmas gifts didn't even get finished on time and they were abandoned.

Since then, however, I have recieved a nice Christmas gift from Kat, a knitting book called "Pretty Knits". It has several very pretty patterns that I am very excited to try. I am already working on one and that is my second closest done project after the Christmas Stocking.

Here is my sweater that I have started from the "Pretty Knits" book. It is already 6.5" long and just needs to get to 20.5" before I decrease. So far I'm actually getting somewhere with this. I think it is because I am working in 4 row sections of each colour and then switiching. I think that helps me feel like I'm getting somewhere.

And here is a picture of the sweater that will be concluded hopefully in the near future.

Well good knitting. New post soon.
