Here’s the finished afghan. I’m so thrilled that this project is finally finished! You have no idea. It’s been about 3 years since I started this afghan (I procrastinated a lot on this one) so to see it done it such a weight off my shoulders.
The Autumn Afghan is almost done. I’ve finished the strips. It’s all put together. One more step…the 2 round border of single crochet. Then it will officially be completed. I’m so excited. I will begin the border this evening. Pictures to follow as soon as it’s done.
I’m almost to my last color change on the Pinwheel Sweater. Progress is coming along well. Once I finished the last 11 rounds, I have to do the edging and the sleeves. But I’m so happy with how it’s coming out. I love it and I hope Amelia loves it too. I’ll definitely try to get a picture of her wearing it once it’s finished, even though it’s almost 100 degrees outside right now and the sweater is made of 100% wool.
So, what’s next after I finish the sweater? I have 4 socks in my ravelry queue that I want to start. Plus I’m trying to finish up the Autumn Afghan. So I think my main focus will be getting the afghan finished, then I’ll start on my sister’s pedicure socks.
I just received my order of 2 circular needles from “Knit Picks”:http://www.knitpicks.com. Awesome is all I can say. The flexibility is great and after being so coiled up, I pulled them out of the bag and they flipped right open. No need to heat them over the stove to straighten the cable. I haven’t even cast on yet with these and I’m already liking them. I may have to eventually replace all my circulars with ones from Knit Picks.
I’m almost done with the strips on the autumn afghan. I’ve got 2 more strips to add. Then I have 2 rounds of single crochet for the border and it will be finished. Woohoo! I worked on it a little this morning, then I had to go grocery shopping. I’ve since been working on the pinwheel jacket. But the progress is steady, again. I had plans to work on it this past week, but I was sick in bed all week. :( I got Amelia’s bug and apparently it hit me harder than her. I was pretty much sleeping all day long for about 4 days. Ugh! I got nothing done! Yesterday, we went to the lake and went swimming. We also went fishing and I caught 2 fish in about 30 minutes. yeah! So it was fun. Amelia had a blast swimming. She loves the water!
