Baby Raglan

I did this project to knit a top-down sweater with no sewing.

I finished this last night.  It turned out okay,  the sleeves are a bit short and that makes me want to knit another one to do better.  I think I will ignore that impulse.




But now I have leftover yarn and need to find a hat pattern that will go with it so I have another project to do.  I am knitting with much smaller needles than I usually do.  It also took more than a week as I was also knitting on my afghan.  No sewing done at all.

What I learned:

1. The small needles didn't bother me.

2. The top down knitting is really easy.

3. No seam sewing is great!!!!

4. I would repeat this style for babies or children's sweaters.

5. I don't think I would like it for myself though I am considering it for "My Mom's Yarn" project.

Ph.D Undertaking

I'm working on my Ph.D's today.  Yes, I have several going on at once.  I love it!!!  Of course, Ph.D stands for "Project Half Done".  Some creative mind out there thought that one up.  I have to blog about it so I remember it for longer than two minutes.  No more UFO's--just Ph.D's.

Knitting

Here are two pics of my new knitting project.  This is so much fun and I think it is really cute.
I don't WONDER why I'm knitting this, but do wonder who is going to wear it.

This is as far as I got on Saturday.

Here it is Sunday night!

A Baby Raglan sweater, knit with 100% Acrylic yarn on #2 and #4 needles.  And I got 12 rows done on my afghan also.  Sometimes it helps to just do what you are so anxious to do.  I feel guilty starting a new project, but I am restraining from buying more skeins of yarn to knit a dozen of this little sweaters.
