AFrogging We Shall Go! - Sleeves

Here are my finished sleeves. It's not the best picture, but I figure I will have more opportunities later to show them at their best. They are blocked and ready to be sewn up!

I've now moved onto the right front piece and am really close to starting the decreases for the neckline!

Here is the final picture!

AFrogging We Shall Go! - Sleeves - Ball 3

So, I have finished the back of the cardigan, but I forgot to get a picture before placing the stitches on a stitch holder. That pic will have to wait. I've started the sleeves, and this is how far I have gotten with one ball of the Suri Merino.

The gray yarn is Blue Sky Alpacas' Sport-Medium Gray.

AFrogging We Shall Go! - Ball 1

So I finally picked up a sweater that I had given up almost two years ago. I had gotten the back done, and almost one of the front sections done when sis Erin pointed out that it looked awfully big and, "Are you sure you did your gauge swatch right?" "Ummm....no." I hadn't. I was using size 9's when I should have been using 5's.

I was too depressed to rip it all out at one time, so I am frogging as I go, thus the new name for this cardi!

It's the Dollar and a Half Cardigan designed by Veronik Avery and published in Interweave Knits Spring 2007 issue. You can now purchase a PDF copy of the pattern through Interweave Press' website.

And here's how far I've gotten with one hank of the Blue Sky Alpaca Suri Merino.

Purple Points - Sixth and Final Skein

Here it is! All done knitting. I just need to weave in a few ends and get some buttons! I've already worn this, even though there are still some tails hanging around. My youngest spit up on it within half an hour of my donning it. Just soooooo typical...

Purple Points - Skein 5

Skein 5 got me to within an inch from binding off. So close!!

Purple Points - Skein 4

Skein 4 got me through most of the decreases and about an inch above me natural waist line. Pretty cool, almost done!
