This weekend I finished dyeing the yarn for my February Lady Sweater, it took two batches because the first time the color was just too blue so I over dyed it again with some yellower Kelly Green acid dye. I have decided to call this my Wicked Lady sweater because well, I went and saw Wicked with Will two weeks ago and it is green, it just seemed natural, plus I always wanted to be a wicked woman, so much more fun then being well behaved.

Finishing up the Sideline and Projects for 2010
Remember this:

After completing the back I had gotten 6 inches into the front only to have to rip it out and half halfheartedly start over. Then the first few inches languished for a year due to lost momentum. It is a common knitting problem and nothing is sadder then losing your mojo for a project, but I am happy to report mine is back. Last night I finally made it into the decrease rows and had the right number of stitches on the bias side panels so I can confidently knit on. Now the challenge is to finish this puppy before next month so that 1) I can wear it! 2) So I can cast on for this! :
This is the February Ladies Sweater by Pamela Wynne ; it is an adult version of Elizabeth Zimmerman’s “Baby Sweater on Two Needles,” from Knitter’s Almanac. The Berkeley gals have decided to do a knit along next month so that gives me about 3 weeks to knit up the rest of Sidelines and get yarn figured out for the F.L.S.
And I already have my next project after F.L.S. all picked out! It will be another sweater, also a top down, Margot by Linden Heflin. I even have the yarn already. This was in fact going to be my next project but then the KAL was organized.
That is currently all I have planned other then to finish up a couple UFO still hanging around. I am hoping to back into the swing of blogging more in depth again too but is has been hard without a good camera, hopefully ours gets sent in to be fixed soon.
All for now!
WW Knit in Public Day 2009
This Saturday was World Wide Knit in Public Day. The Berkley Knitters made a good show of it and we headed out to a local park to enjoy the sunshine (although we all forgot sunscreen and ended up a bit pink).



There was a great spread with chocolate chip cookies, couscous salad, brie, baguette, tomatoes, cherries, mini-pitas, hummus, veggie spears and crackers.
The youngest attending member was very kean on the pitas and hummus.
We can’t wait till next year, we really must have another knitting picnic soon.
