Sleeves for nephews sweater.

I've gotten really tired of knitting these sleeves, so, I've decided to knit them on the knitting machine. LOL I just got tired of these size 4 needles. I'll get the machine out tomorrow and start on them. I'll let you know how it goes.

I am posting a close up of the stitch detail on this sweater, so that you can see what the yarn looks like

Parts of nephew's sweater

I've been working on this sweater for 2 weeks and had to post some pictures. Let me know what you think, I love the light and open feel of the fabric. I am using US 4 needles to make this sweater.

Working on my nephew's sweater

I've got the front and back done. Yeee Haah! I've started on the sleeves and have about a third of one done. I might have this thing finished by the end of the week.
A friend of mine went to Atlanta over the weekend to visit some old friends of hers that were celebrating 17 years together. They live in a suburb of Atlanta, very ritzy. She was telling me about their new house, 5000 square feet, and how much they had put down on it. $125,000. I thought that they had a freestanding mansion, NOOOOOOO, they have a condo. I can see those kind of prices in NY or LA, but Georgia? Anyway, she was telling me that she was going to Atlanta and I mentioned that it was Gay Pride weekend. She was so excited, Anyway, she went to the parade and walked blisters on her feet, but had a great time. Did I mention that her friend was celebrating 17 years with her girlfriend? Well she was, it is so nice to see any couple stay together that long.
Another friend in Houston, had tickets to go to a concert for Pride weekend. It was Margaret Cho, Cindy Lauper, Deborah Harry and Erasure. When he got there they made an announcement that they had persuaded Rosie O'Donnell to attend and perform also. Well, you know how it is, she quit another show and she wouldn't take the price is right, because they wouldn't let her do the show in NY. Poor thing, she said she doesn't need the money and wants to be able to spend time with her kids and girlfriend.
I sat home all weekend and knitted. LOL
Later,

Haven't been on in a while.

Sorry I haven't been here in a while. I've been working on a sweater for my nephew. He just turned 17. I'm making it out of a slub yarn in a dusty green color. It's a ribbed sweater, so it will fit. The yarn is light, so he will be able to wear it. He's kind of like me, hot all of the time, so he needs something light that he can wear when the weather gets cooler (30 degrees is cool down here). LOL
I've just about got the back made. I kind of wish I had started this on my 930, but I'm making it with US 4 knitting needles. The smallest size I've ever made a sweater on. I've almost given up on it a few times, but told myself that I could get one sweater made with these tiny needles.
I'll post pictures as I have the pieces made.

New Sweater

This is a sweater I made for my mom. It's an acrylic and wool blend in a violet heather color. The Bag is made from peaches and cream cotton.

Just Finished Grandma's Sweater.

I just finished with my grandma's sweater. The only thing left to do is sew some buttons on it. She's going to pick some up when she gets into town. I'll repost a picture of her in it when we get the buttons on.

New Sweater

This is a sweater I'm making for my grandma. I got all of the pieces finished today and couldn't work on it anymore, so I'm gonna sew it together in the morning and post the completed sweater. I just couldn't wait.

Throw for Aunt

This is a throw I made for my Aunt. It is crocheted from Lion Brand's Homespun. I made it in a couple of days. It's just 2 color squares 2/3 1/3 and then hand sewn together.
