knitting along and loving it .....but ...
is the front side on a raglan cardigan suppose to end like this ? HELP !!?! huh ?You see, I was knitting along just fine on the front left side.....but got to the end feeling skeptical ...I did not bind of , just had the 3 stitches sitting on waste yarn waiting to see how the right side will turn out .Squinting at the project and the pattern picture trying to see if what i had on my needles resembled what the model was wearing my head got fuzzy and i downed some Chips Ahoy cookies and soy milk...then ...I rested ,still unsure...
Today, in good faith, I knit on.... and started the right side.
Being that this is my first time making a cardigan ,I am not sure what to really expect . It is a basic cardigan with raglan shaping . I have been very careful , but may have made a mistake or two last night while decreasing. . I will be ultra careful with the right side though , and will make corrections to the left accordingly ...
For the most part I am happy with how this is knitting up .....But yeah I -I- I just have to succumb to teasing from my stash and cast on a little side knit..on the down low .....shhhhh, don't tell the cardie.
looks pretty sexy ..yeah ?You see, I believe monogamy is a life style... In life it can reap satisfying benefits to be with one and one only ..You learn together , bump heads + triumph together and grow together. The same does not hold true for me in knitting. I have been knitting on the cardigan now and now that i have just the sleeves and the front right side to finish I am ready to cast on a hat or maybe a pair of fingerless gloves. Am I straying from my list on things to knit ? I may be . damn. But I am really really tempted to get another project going in light of the change in the air and the cool breeze that greets me each new day....
Autumn is upon us and I have taken to late night knitting and podcast listening . I have sooo many things in mind to knit for your truly !!!!
I feel no shame in saying I am not a snob knitter but a selfish knitter....YES... For I knit for self !!!!!! I like to knit for me..I drool over books imagining how thing would look on ME !Is that shameless? I am a tad fearful that my hand made may not be as well received with many people used to getting clothes from say a department store or the mall.. and so I'd hate to know that the item i created is balled up collecting dust on top of the pressure cooker in the pantry ...feel me ? While i have made things for others, i have become , over time , a knitter who creates or dreams to create for her self... Is that soo bad ? I do aim to change this up just a tad .. only a tad ....
I do plan to take knitboy 1's measurements tomorrow .I want to get a sweater on the needles for him , finish up that grey wool I have ..such nice yarn to knit with ... the dilemma had been that there is very little manly projects out there for say the urban male, in opinion..... Lately though I want to make things for my men .....Want sox for the ole man and cardigans for my 3 man-cubs!!!! Besides, It would be nice to tuck the boys into bed under hand made blankets from their dear ole mama !!!! So through deep contemplation and blog stalking ,I come to admit I have been lazy and not knitting hardly enough for myself and those i love most ... I have allowed my self little time and love for the benefits of hand knitting .....
This must changed. That changed ...
LIFE won't wait ....neither should my knitting !!!!
I have yet to delve into my Rhinebeck goodies. I guess that will be a task for tomorrow . I decided to devote Sundays to cooking crafting and cleaning ..
aaaaaaaaaahhhhh , the basics in life !
Sheer the sheep and Seize the day !
