And now on to sleeve island.

After a week of tons of knitting, I have finished the body of the celtic dreams sweater. I modified the pattern a bit to make it shorter. I will post a picture this weekend. Now I have to write out the pattern for the sleeves and get started. There might be a few problems since the pattern says the sleeves are 19 inches long from the shoulder. Either I have freeky long arms or I am measuring and counting wrong- 19" from my should is only a 3/4 length sleeve. The sleeves are knit from the top down, so I will need to get everything written out to verify length before starting. I am not a fan of doing that much math before knitting something. Maybe I will just stop and call it a sweater vest instead.

Wonderful Weekend

This weekend has been very good. First on satuday at the Queen City Feis in Cincinnati I won second place in the Reel and third place in the Slip Jig. The final medal count for my teacher was 11 medals for 5 dancers in 4 dances. Then for Mother's day I got a Dyson DC14 vacuum, a Calphalon One 12" pan, a 5 1/4" Henckels Santoku knife, a bag of jelly beans, and a card. What a wonderful time. Now time for monday and work.

Record time

I just finished the second sock. It was a record time of 9 days from cast-on to sewing in the ends. Now that pair is done, I have to work on a pair for my son with some crazy striped yarn. Good thing small socks don't take long to knit (if you actually work on them).

No new pictures, but the sock foot is all done and I am working on the leg part. This week starts the weekends of tons to things to do. Irish dance competition season has started.
