Yarn (Project started January 25, 2010)
Today we received two BIG boxes from my mom. One box was almost all yarn! I've decided to take on another project...Knitting!
To get myself started, I brought out my handy "I taught myself Knitting" kit and picked a vibrant ball of variegated yarn. Perhaps this will be a new sweater for Audrey?? We'll see!

Since this project is ongoing, it makes this quite unique from the other things I might post (like cooking...I can't imagine why a one night dinner preparation would take months of blogging).
So, I'll use this page to post periodic "goings on" and I'll continue to add to the Photo Gallery Below. I'm always excited to see a project's progress develop right in front of my eyes...And now I can share it!
Enjoy! I know I will!

I realized not too long after I started that the ball of yarn wasn't all the same. Under a few layers of variegated pinks and purples was this bright red! So, the new plan, the variegated will be the bottom stripe and the main garmet will be red! Here we go...

I've completed both sides to the front of her sweater. They look a little weird...Guess that's what I get for following my own pattern! :) Plus, I should really figure out how to add and drop stitches properly. Oh, well. As Andrew says, Audrey will love it, because her mama made it for her! Aside from starting and finishing the last of the sides for the front, I also started on one of the sleeves. I'm hoping I'll have enough yarn left for both sleeves...I go back and forth from panic to, "I'll be jusssstttt fine...." I guess all I can really say right now is only time will tell! :)

So...I didn't have enough yarn for both sleeves. Sighhhhhhh!
Oh, well. I'ts not as noticeable as in the pictures below. Yes, even the best of us have trouble wielding a camera sometimes...Mine happens to be getting a clean and check, and let me tell you-This tiny P.O.S. (excuse my french) point and shoot my mom let me borrow definitely doesn't do any justice! I guess my rant was really about how the yarn I used to complete the sleeve is orange, as the picture shows. Oh, boy! LOL
Now to put it all together!

Happy 18 months Audrey! How fitting that she should wear her made-with-love sweater as she turns a year and a half! :)
