Boo!

For a secret pal contest, we are supposed to post about our favorite current project. Mine is Boo, which I went back to work on yesterday. I tore it all out and started over with a sleeve last night. I was enjoying it so much, I had to tear myself away from it and FORCE myself to go to bed. It is a pretty easy pattern, so my alterations to it aren’t a big headache. I can remember when I looked at it on Knitty one day and my daughter came in the room and told me she wanted a sweater like that. The top reason I like it so much is that I am working the sleeves in the round and the body in one piece. It is knitting up fast and will have minimal seaming at the end.



As you can see from the picture of my sleeve, it is a very nice day today. We even have a flower in bloom today. I should probably mark it on the calendar. Maybe next week I will have cut flowers in the house. I love having fresh flowers around the house.



This is my progress on my window covering. Last night I held it up to the door, and I think I might have made it too narrow. I might have to add an additional edging besides the garter stitch I have been doing. The elk is much lower on the window than I thought it was going to be, so I may have to add something in above him. I am going to do a tree border at the top, but all that blank space in between might need a little something.

I think I need to jump start the sewing slump I am in. This morning I discovered Angry Chicken’s apron page. It is inspiring to see the cool aprons that people make. I might have to make myself one. If I had one I liked, I might wear it and spare my clothes in the kitchen.
