Still plugging away

Here is a repeat WIP, because I am not making as much progress on it as I would like.  Don't get me wrong, I'm getting there, but I have a terrible habit of knitting several things at once (and I just signed up for two swaps on Ravelry, yikes!).  Speaking of projects, my ninja mask I showed here last week as a WIP is DONE!!  Hopefully I will post as a FO this Friday if my daughter will slow down long enough to get some pictures taken.

Here is how far I've gotten on my short sleeve cardigan:


I'm not being shy, it is just that my 5 year old isn't great on the non-blurry picture taking, and only one of the back pics looked good enough.  I tried taking one myself, but that was a disaster!  At least you get the idea.  I love that this is knit in the round so I can try it on, and that it fits!!  In fact, trying it on has motivated me to devote more attention to it.  I love it!

Recap:
Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool, 100% wool
Pattern: Tappan Zee Cardigan 


What I'm reading:
Now, for my knitting and reading friends, here is what I have on the Kindle right now:


I love that you can get library books on the Kindle.  Sure, sometimes you have to wait ages, but this one was ready right when I wanted it.  I love a good Scottish story!

  1. The cardigan is looking great :)

    I love that it is possible to try all-in-one top down cardigans on as you go - but for some reason I always forget this and put sleeve stitches on a holder rather than scrap yarn so I end up not being able to!

  6. Pretty cardigan. Working it in the round gives the yoke a really nice shape. And really, I think the five year old did pretty well with the photography ;)

  7. Ling the cardi. And a bonus that you can try it as you go along, would definitely keep me knitting for longer!

  10. I'm impressed that your five year old took that photo! Seamless sweaters are my favorite- they are like instant gratification- in knitting terms that is. :) Yours looks great. I love the detail of the lace and eyelets.
