Finally finished the Scallop Edge Pullover. This was my first time to do picot edging and a buttoned placket. I think it turned out pretty well, the only mod I would make would be to make the sleeves one inch longer, they didn't attach to the armhole as far down as they were supposed to, and I didn't want to distort the edges to make it fit. Now I must go to the gym to tone my arms to wear this puppy. Ha.
Cast on for the kilt hose for my husband's Christmas present despite the fact that I bought yarn a month ago at Gourmet Yarn to design a sweater that I'd like to sell the pattern for. Oh, and I entered that same as-yet-formless sweater in the fair in an attempt to motivate myself past the fear of rejection and ridicule to finish it already. It's not working so far. However, I've already muffed the directions for the kilt hose and will have to rip back. P3TBL in worsted weight on size 1-1/2 needles really really stinks. So maybe I'll revisit the design sweater, it's to be a saddle shoulder, so if I knit the sleeves I'll be past the hard part. Of course, that's after I clean the house, walk the dog, workout, make a Power Point presentation for the neighborhood meeting that I'm conducting on Sunday, and get the boys to the rink before 5. Yeah, it'll happen.
