Here is what I have so far...of the "orange sweater"...
I am still working on the Yoke, it needs more decreasing. It looks like it will fit now, but the stitches are gathered up on the needle cable still. I think it will work out great when I get the decreases finished and I can move onto the purl row for the turn row. Laura, I need you to decipher into plain english for me, how they are wanting this neckline done. I am stalled on that. I think though, I will go ahead and kitchner stitch under the arms and be done with it. I am pretty stoked, this will be my first knitted Adult raglan sweater done this way. I feel like I have come a long way baby!

I went to Books A Million Sunday. We all know that is Kathy's favorite hangout! well, I just couldn't decide and being that I am tight on money right now, made the executive decision to wait. I felt incredibly weird walking out of there empty handed.

Tony wore his knitted tie with pride, Sunday. He wore a beautiful blue shirt that made it look really great. He wants another one sometime, but I told him I needed to take a break for awhile...I want to finish my other shop sock AND the "orange sweater" (can you hear sinister music playing in the background every time I say..."orange sweater"?) LOL

Monday was my off day, but phooey, I had to come to the office and find out if the post office or at&t had lost my payment and then go grocery shopping...some "off day". Oh, and at&t FINALLY received my payment...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I did manage to catch Knitty Gritty @ 6:00 am while working on the "orange sweater" (music again) and was fairly pleased...it was a new one I had not seen before. It was about pet sweaters and although I liked the sweaters, they were more like capes to me. They really should have been designed with belly bands , because those things can get twisted around easily. Not all of them were capes but most were. Also, you can make a sweater, with neck and front leg holes to fit better, than make the back more like what they had. I am in search for the PERFECT dog sweater...haven't quite found what I am looking for yet. I think I may yet design one. First, I have to conquer the "orange sweater" (hear it?)

Don't forget Sock Class with Laura and extended hours tonight as well as Wednesday knit in tomorrow morning! I hope to have my other sock finished up at least by tomorrow...it all depends on whether or not I can finish the "orange sweater"...Well, I really need to stitch up those sleeves and finish decreasing.

I hope everyone is enjoying the rainy day...makes me sleepy!
knit on ya'll!
