Man's Aran Sweater update

Here's my update on "W"'s sweater

10-15 - Well I separated the body to start the sleeves, knitting and knitting the stockinette right before the neck

10-23 - and I thought to myself (I should have him try it on to make sure it's long enough) sigh not long enough at all, I had to ripp it all out - crap. I guess it's good I had him try it on - I need to add like 7" to the body. I'm panicing now though because I don't have nearly enough yarn to add 7" of body to this.

10-27 - Last night I went to Michaels, where I bought the Patons classic merino and they had 3 skeins in the bin only. Deep breath, HA that was the dye lot number I needed - phew! I'm hoping to finish the extra 7" of body tonight so I can separate tomorrow... I need to finish this so I can start on something new :) I'm itching to start on Sarah's blouse....

Secret Pal 13

I have signed up for secret Pal 13, I'm kinda excited this will be my first secret pal experience...

I've also been plugging away at the men's (not so aran) aran sweater, W indicated that he didn't want all the cabling and pattern through the body of the sweater so it's just boring stockinette.... I did make it in the round and have separated the back to knit the arm holes, it just seems slow going.

There is no progress on the Blue Juliet as I've been spending all my time on W's sweater, the same goes for the Apres' Surf Hoodie and Sarah's Lace Blouse....

I have a tendency to not blog if I don't have pictures to share, sorry for that - hehe, I might put a progress shot up on the W's sweater and the blue juilet becuase I do have pics. Look for it soon :)
