A Knitting Affair

Well I have a goal to finish a project a month. It can be anything – socks, sweaters, mittens – whatever. My goal for September was to finish my Lady February sweater. I cast off the final stitches on September 30 at about 8 pm! I wasn’t able to get any pictures though until Karen took some at snubs.

check out the buttons!

Yarn: Socks that Rock Heavyweight in Spinel

I only used 2.5 skeins of the 4 skeins that I purchased. I stopped knitting the lace at 19 inches and then did 1.5 for the garter rib. It grew about 2 inches in length and it is perfect now. The buttons are crystal one’s that I got from this great bead store a block away from work!

I can see knitting this sweater again at some point. You know, after I finish all my other projects *snort*

I have also started a “health” blog where I am documenting my quest for health – mental, physical and emotional. Mostly, because I want a dedicated place to post what I am doing. I read in Chapters a quote – Life is not about finding yourself, its about creating yourself – and that has become my new mantra!
