When this year began (2016 I mean), I decided that this would be the year for something new. Something huge. Something that I haven’t done before.
First that came to mind was a sweater. I have knitted a sweater before but only according to the pattern. Knitting a sweater from point zero – that was something new, and huge, and something I haven’t done before.
Naturally my “go to” page for sweater courses was Craftsy. Did you know that they have 14 classes just for sweaters? I counted you know…
I had a hard time to choose from so many, but I narrowed my search. As you know I’m all about cables and lace, so it had to be this kind of class. Now I had 5 courses left.
Basically, I just chose the one that looked the best… this one:
Now Mondays are my Vogue sweater challenge days.
About the headline…. it’s my birthday today and actually, I don’t feel like crying - I just like to know that I can if I want to 🙂 I know - I’m weird…
So before I’ll dive in my birthday cake and drink more champagne than I should, I want to show you my progress… I didn’t start sleeves yet but I’m pleased that I got this far… And it fits me - I was so worried that it would be too small 🙂
I wonder - could I make sleeves in one week? Hmmm….
Happy birthday! You’re an amazing knitter. May your day be filled with smiles.
Thank you Sheryl 🙂
