Ultimate Redemption

(My DB decided on the title)

Yes, I am alive, yes, I do like to blog. However, the only thing worth blogging about happened just last night. Remember the sleeves on my Subway Sweater?

Well, I've made them a couple stitches wider, and a whole lot of rows shorter. (This is compared to my previous pattern for the sleeves, in which they were, if you recall, much thinner and a little shorter than the original pattern.)

This is the sleeve already sewn together, I just have to put it on the sweater.
The funny thing is, the stitches aren't coming out even. Is it because the yarn, which is all crinkley from how the previous sleeve that was made from it, is wacko? I don't know what to do.

I Know, I Know

Sorry about how I haven't posted in a couple days. I have, however, gotten some knitting done!

May I present Exhibit A: The Socks.
That's right, ladies and gentleman, I have finished the second sock! The one on the right is the second. I did not do the toe very well (I guessed on how to graft, and on the first, I think I sort of did it right, but I messed up on the second). Ah, well. Mom plans on using them as slippers.

And now, the baby sweater:

Where the stitch holder is, that is what will soon be an armhole. I am now working on the neckline.

Now, I'm off to work on my explainations for my (mainly knitting) 4-H projects....other than the shirt and skirt I made, I am also entering a pair of American Girl Doll outfits, a partly completed entrepreneur booklet, and a ceramic vase. Perhaps I'll take pictures of them when I finish the descriptions, it can be my reward for finishing them!

More To Explain

I should probably rephrase what I said about the socks. I did start the second sock, I'm actually on the top decoration thingy. However, I am now halfway through the body of the sweater. My fingers are confused. Should they knit the socks, which I am (technically)more than 1/2 way done with? Or, should they knit the sweaters, which I would like to get done soon, before they, like, grow out of them?
More about the sweater: the body is knit in one piece, with holes where you make the sleeves. There is another hole to put part of the sweater through, to make the front and back.
I'm probably confusing you more than I should, pictures to explain this soon.

Pictures and A New Project

Well, here's the sock: And here's how comfortably it fits on Mom's foot:And now I have a new project: baby sweaters for the month-old twins next door!

I know what you're thinking: you're thinking "That's not a baby sweater!" Well, yes and no. It's this pattern from Greetings From Knit Cafe:

And here's the back:

Don't worry, I won't forget my other sock, but this is just a break, OK?

1/2 Way There!

I finished one sock!

They turned up looking very winterish, but at least the colors match!
I've decided that Mom will get these socks. It's her birthday in a couple weeks, and they fit her perfectly!

She says that they're very comfortable, but she doesn't want to mess up the bottoms.....we'll put some sort of pad there.
Unfortunately, the downloading thing isn't working right now....maybe it'll work later?
