I finished the Gathered Pullover!
um…really I did
Okay - so I’m one sleeve short.
Yes it’s true. Yesterday I started working on the second sleeve, when I realized I was on my last skein and there is not enough left to finish.
Then…from the bowels of my knitting basket emerged…
…another skein! It is truley a knitting miracle. So, better late than never, I will finish the Gathered Pullover!
I took the Tiered Skirt from Closely Knit out and about on Saturday…
…and Lilly sported the Eyelet Top!
I’ve got to make some sleeves!!
Also, a new yarn to love: Hempathy by Elsebeth Lavold.

The Textured Vest I designed for Nashua Handknits is now available as part of their Autumn Winter 2008-2009 Collection.
It appears in the City Streets booklet.
I finished the dress I was sewing for Carrie’s wedding just a few hours before, of course. It was my first time doing a hand picked zipper. I love how it came out, which is exciting since I am terrible at sewing zippers in on a machine.
So pretty.
Jenny of everything knitticrafty posted these cute pictures of the Ducky Cardigan she knit. I love the wooden buttons!
I completed my summer scarf. I cast on 350 sts with Nashua Handknits Ecological Cotton on a US 10 needle and knit in garter stitch through 2 skeins. Not rocket science I know, but it makes a perfectly good summer accessory.
I also cast on for the Ravelympics Hana Jason’s Gathered Pullover from Winter 2007 Interweave Knits using Garnstudio Alpaca. This knits up so fast - it’s sport weight knit on a US 7 needle.
I just received some very cute decals in the mail from Elephannie. So fun! Check out all the choices she has.
