minimal
Today was a perfect day to finally be able to take some progress shots of current projects and spare some time to write a post. Currently, I only have just two things on the needles and both are sweaters. A long while ago, I casted on the sweater inspired by the Holiday movie . It was always on the 'hold' while other knits came on and off the needles. But lately it seems that it's really going to get done pretty soon. Phew! I am working on finishing both the fronts at the moment and have both sleeves and back completed. This one has been a great project to break up the monotonous garter stitch knitting on Diva, which sometimes can be a bore. You know me, cable knitting is really my cup of tea and I always have to have a least a project or two with cables.
There has also been some progress on Diva, considering the number of rows garter stitches that have so far gone into it. I am working on the second half of the collar and still have both sleeves to work on. This has been my TV knitting for a while, although keeping track of short rows can be tricky when engrossed in a good movie. The good thing is my determination to complete this jacked has not faltered. It's still there, even though I know it will take a while to finish.
I will be back soon. I need to figure out the new typepad compose screen which currently, I have some issues with.
Ok. Total intimidation here. Love the orange socks. That pattern is amazing and the cable knit is totally stunning.
One day, I'll learn how to do this. Until then, I'll have to marvel at your talents.

I'm so excited to see your "Holiday" sweater come together. I LOVE that sweater (and the movie) but can't find a pattern. I'm a relatively new knitter and don't feel confident enough to try to piece it together myself. Bravo, you!

Love the sweater and the movie! I'm working on the Central Park Hoodie right now it is my first cable sweater. I always thought that they looked hard but I have loved doing cables and I'm looking for the next project!

Those cables look great! I'm realizing it's been quite a while since I knit anything with cables - I'll have to correct that!
