Friday happenings....

I've decided to rip back the sleeve on the baby cardigan....






I really didn't want to ..... I hate going backwards on my projects since I seem to have a problem
getting them completed to begin with....ugh......

since the one sleeve is done 100% I thought it would be a good idea to weigh it so I'll know just how much I need for the other sleeve and still have enough to finish up all the seaming....

good thinking, right??

also good thinking? - I asked Steve last Christmas to give me a scale.....it's a kitchen scale but works perfectly for weighing yarn to the exact amount so I'll know how much yarn I've used and need to make the other sleeve.....at least that's the plan...

I'm anxious to finish this sweater and sew on the buttons.......

now I know there's a boat load of knitters out there who would be knitting these two sleeves at the same time.....to assure they are both the same....that makes perfect sense....

that's the smart thing to do....

but staying true to myself.....

I'm taking the road of frustrations......rip back, re knit, hope for the best, fingers crossed....

I don't mind really, it keeps things interesting....

organization and forethought are overrated......

my life and home remains full.....

of fur, family, and too much furniture.....

I'd like you to meet Gwen....





she's the latest addition to our humble home....10 months old and full of energy.....

and teeth.....

my perfect little sized 4 knitting needles with the knobby wooden tops???

well, I have one....the matching partner now a pile of toothpick sized splinters....

thanks Gwen.....lucky for you you're cute.....

Oh look at that sweet face, surely you are mistaken, it could not have been her?
