And the Bronze Metal goes to...

I'm awarding myself a bronze metal for the UFOlympics. My goal was to complete the kimino cardigan I started last fall. I was exactly have way through when I put it down to do my Christmas knitting. On Friday I finished up all the knitting. All I have left is to seam it (only 2 seams) and block it.

I also finished the Lady Detective hat I started last August. Not a bad week's work. Photos later.

If I could read I'd be dangerous..

Or, how to waste three perfectly good hours of knitting.

Friday morning I took my car in for an oil change and it's 100,000 mile service. I brought my UFOlympics project - a kimono style cardigan knit as one piece. I started on it last fall and then set it aside for christmas knitting. I knit and knit and knit. A great way to pass time at a car dealership. After about two hours, I realized that my sleeve looked kinda funny. At this point I decide to take a look at the pattern. I had done EIGHT too many repeats!!! That translated to 48 rows to be ripped back. I couldn't bear to frog it in public - I had just finished showing it to somebody who was so impressed with my skill. After I got home I spent about an hour ripping out those extra rows so that I could bind off and proceed with the front of the sweater.

Photos!

I have finally uploaded pictures to Flickr and Ravelry! Yippee. Now to try it here.

This is the blanket I made for my newest niece. I finished it up just in time for the suprise baby shower on June 1. The suprise was that baby Kate made her debut on May 22!

I've also finished up some other things. I finished my fern lace stole (pattern from the Stitch a Day calendar) on Saturday, and it is currently being blocked on my dining room table.

Now I just need to practice my photography and post once in a while.
