current progress
Jan. 12th, 2009 09:13 amI finished knitting the right sweater front. Now I have the back and both fronts done. Next I'll sew the shoulder seams and pick up and knit the collar. After that I have the sleeves and assembly.
I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to sew the seams with (yarn? thread? embroidery floss?) but I must have a book around here somewhere that will enlighten me.
I bought some fabric for pants (yes, pants!) the other day. I haven't worn pants in years. I tend to prefer skirts. But I guess I'm just in the mood. I picked up a couple pieces of mid-weight canvas/duck from the bargain section at Jo-Anns and a nice piece of black wool twill from Treadle.
I made a pattern last week using an article from Threads as a guide. I need at least another mock-up before I can dive in, but hopefully I can start soon.
Not much else on my plate right now. I'm kind of eager to be immersed in a big, consuming project, but I'm not sure when that will happen. I like the instant gratification of little things and the slow rhythms of knitting, but right now I'm just craving more.
