Guess what - it is coming along very nicely. While knitting with Jen, Tammy and Ann at Starbucks, I figured I could make myself tackle the dreaded task of seaming...
It is totally adorable and I am thinking about changing the pattern around some more. I realized - after reading the pattern to the end, finally - that I have to graft the hoodie. I am a grafting spaz. Not kidding - every time I have to graft something, I have to sit down with the instructions and go stitch by stitch. Every freaking time - like it's rocket science. That's why all my socks have a 3-needle bindoff at the toe.
But with the hoodie I think I am going to buckle down and give it a really hard try - since it will be in a very prominent location - right on little Pixie's head.
So, I have 8 inches of straight knitting left, well, with the reverse cable on each edge:
Sorry for the picture quality. It was kinda dark when I took these early this morning...
Other than the Pixie Cardi, I worked on the second Monkey sock and I am past the heel. I am hoping to have a translation of the German boomerang heel for you soon...
AND - drum roll - I will be in the thrall of Barbara Walker this week. She is coming to the Atlanta Knitting Guild on Thursday and she will teach a class on Mosaic Knitting on Saturday. I am very excited to meet her. Hopefully I'll have pictures and a bunch of great stories next week. Keep your fingers crossed that I won't behave like a total knitting geek freak dork...
