a few rows done on the back


hard to stay motivated to knit today
HHHMMMMMM
what's up with that??
got 4 rows done on the back
thinkin' the sweater will be too tite
oh well .. make a hanger & stick it on the wall
as ART!!

progress before i went to bed

the sweater is knit in one piece
i sewed the sides together to see where i was at
i just started the neck shaping in the back of the sweater
i LOVE it
the goal is to make the sweater & pants & a sock
and have Raisin knitting the 2nd sock
then do the same for Eve
altho, Eve's sweater will probably be knit
bottom up - or top down
have mommy - daughter in co-ordinating outfits

so friends are giving me grief




i have naked babies all over the place
so since i want to knit SOMETHING
i decided to knit a sweater for one
of the babies
THEORETICALLY
Raisin should be the easiest since she is the smallest

Regia Color 4 yarn
size 0 circs
Pattern is Sleeve to Sleeve Sweater #12-Sw

the pattern has you change colors & patterns
yeah right
too many knots





NOT!!


too many knots

DOLLS

Saffire needs pants
Angel needs boots

Amber needs a skirt & shoes



these need assembling



yup - more assembly needed
and there are MORE all over the house
i am afraid to count them
