I've had alot of time on my hands lately, and I've been, surprisingly at a loss as to how to use it.
So I finished a sweater.
It's my Everyday Cardigan by Peace Fleece in Peace Fleece Perestroika Pink worsted. After my dentist appointment today, I picked out some wooden buttons that I thought would look nice.
Ok. Now let's talk about what I don't like about this sweater. First of all, I will be the first to admit that I'm not the best finisher. My blocking skillz are under par, as are my sewing skills. The sweater is a bit lumpy. Maybe another wash will help. But more than that, this baby is itchy. What did I expect? I don't know. I'm sure I'll wear it because I made it, but I don't know if I'll actually like wearing it. Perhaps some fabric softener or something. I don't know. Cross your fingers for me. I never make stuff for myself. It's so much easier to just force Devan to wear itchy things, rather than wear them myself. I'm just kidding. Her knitted stuff is never itchy.
And now that I'm done with one project that's been taking up space, It's time to work on something else. I know!
I mean, it's finally snowing so why not knit a nice lace scarf? This is Trellis from Interweave Knits Spring 06.
