The Snowblower Started!! And knitting UFO's

Yes, it did!  After I remembered to adjust the choke correctly.  I was happy the snow wasn't too wet and that it blew nicely.  It only clogged up once and a day later the weather warmed up and the driveway totally cleared up and grass could be seen once again.

Yes, more UFO's out of the closet.  I guess I don't feel like sewing on binding...

I rummaged through my knitting things and pulled out the two unfinished sweater projects that have been languishing there for varied reasons.

The first one I really want to complete since it is using yarn from the last sweater my mother was knitting before her stroke.  The problems?  I am not sure of the gauge and, therefore, the size, so I have to re-swatch, block, get my gauge and redesign the pattern in Sweater Wizard.  Only the sleeves are completed.  They could possibly be salvaged, but not a big thing to reknit if I have to.  The other problem is the one that s..t..o..p..p..e..d my forward progress three years ago.  The dogs, puppies then, got into the yarn and chewed the grey skein, leaving anything but a nice long strand to work with.  Since I am not sure of the amount of good yarn remaining I am redesigning the pattern to, hopefully, use slightly less yarn.

I'm not finished with "balling" the grey yarn yet.

One ball salvaged; around five long strands

One ball of 17 short strands; will use in my new swatch

Junk remaining from the puppy mess....

I am re-swatching the other sweater UFO, haven't "frogged" it yet, but will when I am happy with the swatch and new design.
