Sweet Stockinette (bom bom bom) Good Times Never Seemed So Good....(Neil Diamond eat your heart out!)

First of all, let me say that I realize I'm not the first knitting blogger to apologize for her lack of blogging because of Ravelry distractions. Ravelry is just so very very much fun -- seriously, seriously fun!!!!. I love seeing my friends there, looking up their WIP's and looking up projects that I want to make. Look for me. I'm knittingmother!

With that in mind, I started on the Portland sweater (scroll down a bit to see the pics) pattern from Valley Yarns. I'm making mine in luscious (and I mean LUSCIOUS) Royal Silk Merino from Plymouth Yarns -- it's 51% silk and 49% merino and it's a deep rich red and did I mention that I love it? It's my favorite yarn today. Not only that, but the Portland sweater pattern is so beautifully mindless. It's almost 98% stockinette and knit in the round. I got some wonderfully kind help from plazajen (via Ravelry). She's da bomb! I believe we were both in Wichita when the Harlot was there, though I didn't know her then. Who knew?!



I cast on Thursday night (late) and this pic was taken early Saturday. As of this writing I'm 1" from finishing the sleeve...although I think I've been knitting the same 1" since 10:30 this a.m. LOL!!! I love the pattern, love the drape of the yarn...just love it all the way around. I think I'll be really happy with the finished project even though it likely won't be a fitted-looking finish (it's a rather swingy sweater).

Knittingjournal if you read this, look on the counter behind my sleeve. You'll see a box there (it formerly held trash bags). That's your package waiting to be mailed. Hopefully it will go out tomorrow!

See you at Ravelry!

Slurp!

Sorry, I just can't resist a good slurp once in a while. I'm so excited. Did I mention that I just knitted an enormous Christmas stocking out of worsted acrylic because I had no other yarn, and was facing a long boring weekend? It's a monster, I have to put up pics soon.
