Cardigan progress!

I have made lots of progress on my Yellow Cardigan!

I'm working on the bottom ribbing and then I'll work on the sleeves! Then a few finishing touches and it'll be done!!! I'm so excited! Now to get cooler weather so I can ENJOY it!!!

Yellow Cardigan Progress

I'm making progress!!!!

I got a little impatient and tried to see if I was ready to divide the sleeves off but quickly realized it was too small for me.  It was a little harder to go back a row but I was able to make it work! Thankfully the area where there are a little mess ups is at the underarm, so who is going to see that???

Can't wait to finish!!!

Cardigan Fail...

So remember my cardigan project I started in June?  Well I'm sad to say I had to scrap it.

Can you see what is wrong with this picture?

If you said 2 different colored yarns you would be correct! For some reason I Love This Yarn makes two shades of this green that have similar names and I somehow got the wrong one! I didn't notice until I had been going for a bit and just got so frustrated.  I could just pull out the old color and start over.  But lets me honest, I wasn't wild about the pattern.  It just wasn't working for me when I was seeing it in person.  I think some patterns are like that.

So I've been looking through some other patterns and found this one that I want to try.

I bought some I Love This Wool in Sungold with my Birthday money and I'm ready to go!

I'll post pictures as I make progress! Crossing my fingers for no more failures on this one!

Progress on the Cardigan

I've been spending a lot of time on the cardigan and it's coming along pretty quickly!

I'm already working on the bottom "lace" pattern. This is one of those knit from the top patterns that are easier for making garments.  I just started on the top and then I sectioned off that sleeves for later and I was completely amazed that it worked! You can see actual sleeve areas and its all even!!!

Now I am nervous that this is going to be too small for me!!!  I picked the "size" based on my measurements but its looking small!! But I can't really tell because everything is all bunched together on these circular needles.  I guess I'll just work the pattern and see who it will fit in the end! I'll be happy to have a cardigan in the end and not some strange yarn mess!!!

Has anyone knitted a cardigan before? Any tips you want to share?? I'd LOVE them!!!

New Project

I have been so much crocheting lately that I thought I'd take a break from it for a bit to get back to my first love of KNITTING!

I've seen so many patterns for cute cardigans and I thought I would start with this one:

So far its been pretty easy.  I'm using some left over Sage Green Yarn from I Love This Yarn.

I've gotten about 20 rows done. I'm sure I could get more done if I didn't have all the "MOMMA!!" =) AH, motherhood!  

I'll try to keep you posted on my progress!!! What are you working on?
