Making Progress

I've been working on the boys' ganseys, but boredom is not my friend. I am beyond bored with these sweaters. The pattern just keeps repeating, and repeating, and repeating....but they'll be beautiful when they're finally done. I keep telling myself that.




I've also chosen a sweater pattern for myself: The Flower Child by Norah Gaughan. It's so pretty yet simple. I really hope the yarn I chose will work, and I'm getting to work swatching today. I can't do more than swatch though, until the boys' sweaters are done. Oh, help! Four (make that 2 whole rust sleeves plus 4/5ths of each of two green) sleeves to go.

You can do it! I hate sleeves sometimes.

Yeah, I don't think anything is out there on the knitting and spinning guilds. They are basically excuses to get together to knit and spin :) Both groups meet at the College Town House in Granville. The spinning meets on the second Wednesday at 7 pm. The knitting meets on the third Monday also at 7 pm. You should definitely come! There really isn't any teaching per se but you end up picking up a lot.
