Go Toe Jammers!!

No knitting tonight! Had to lose...err play...another game of kickball.

So I was speed knitting through my cardigan all week and almost feel guilty that I haven't picked up my needles today! Not guilty enough to stay up late and knit tonight, but enough to blog about it haha!

Stephanie and Brooke stopped by last night for a knitting session... and thank goodness too! Now I know how to pick up stitches without making any holes (thanks Steph!) and I got to see all the great yarn that Brooke ordered last week.

My progress on the cardigan: just frilling the edges left to complete. I'm so excited to get this done if only so I can start another project. I think I'm becoming addicted to knitting. And I'm getting better too! I don't need to knit with a needle poking in my chest or anything! (Apparently you're not supposed to knit poking the needle in your chest so you have a free hand. Even though it works, the possibility for injuries increases tenfold with this technique)

For my next project, I think I'm going to attempt something with cables! From what I've seen, it doesn't look too difficult (I realize I've just jinxed myself now). But I've been known to foul up simple things, so we'll see. (Like this cardigan sweater and that damn right panel I had to do three times... oh and then the left panel--the one I finished first-- was actually the right panel... I could have just used that all the long. Instead I had to rip THAT one out too and redo it. Whats wrong with me?! How embarassing!)

Hopefully I'll have this sweater done tomorrow... ok by next week. I think I'll get quite a bit done tomorrow though since its my TV night... Jericho and Lost! Oh and The Nine--but I'm only watching that because I don't understand how it can be a tv show, and I'm too busy knitting to get up and find the remote.

Until next time... happy knitting!

I really love the pattern for that sweater - one day when I have lots more practice I will do it too!

LOL, there is no 12 step program for our addiction! Alas, there are millions of people that have it! Many can be found on knitting blogs around the web! My name is Becka and I'm addicted to knitting :wink:...so, you are not alone!!!
I just know you are going to love cables! They aren't hard, just look that way, they are really lots of fun!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I am honored that you want to knit one of my patterns!

Hi Becka, thank you for stopping by my blog! I'm going to pick up a cable needle this week...and hopefully I won't create a disaster!
