Unfinished Objects

Thanks for you compliments on my socks, they were a fun knit and they're very comfortable. As far as which scarf I am going to knit, I am still undecided. I have been concentrating on my hourglass sweater. Here it is as it stands...

Just the yoke left to knit. This sweater has been pretty smooth sailing except for the part where I forgot to check the pattern corrections before starting forcing me to rip back 20 rounds. Once I got that straightened out it was full speed ahead.

I'm a little nervous though, for that matter I'm always a little nervous when I'm finishing up a sweater. I'm always worried that it won't fit even though I triple check the measurements and compare everything to an existing sweater, there is always a bit of uncertainty. Oh well, such is life.

I believe I promised a picture of Kate. Well here she is...

As you can see her legs are still unattached. My excuse is that I have been concentrating on Hourglass, and I'm sticking to it. The plan is to deliver her this weekend, I'll let you know if I make it. I have the next four days off of work so there will be lots of knitting, some spinning and possibly even some yarn/pattern shopping, maybe even a trip to Ikea, one of my favorite places on earth (next to a yarn shop that is).
