Look! I have the beginnings of an Exeter right front! Yay! It took me two or three hours to wind 9.7 oz of yarn by hand (O.O), but I didn't have too much trouble and now I can knit from it! Yay! I'm praying that I have enough from the right front and both sleeves. I should, but we'll see.
That's all I'm going to show you, but there will be at least one baby item on Friday. I'm hoping to finish my sample knit by Monday so I can ship it, too. It just needs sleeves and finishing. I never know if I can show it to you. I'm tempted. It's pretty and published, so...maybe?
For more WIP Wednesday posts and Summer Sweater KAL posts, go here and here, respectively.
Yay!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great start to me! I'm surprised that it didn't take longer than that to wind actually, woah!
ReplyDeleteMe too, actually!
DeleteOh my! What great suspense - will you get done with Exeter by the end of the KAL? How many items will you really have done on Friday? :) Great job, and I hope you complete this one by the end of the month!
ReplyDeleteHaha, so much suspense! I doubt I'll get done in time, but I'm trying!
DeleteWow, sounds like you are doing a lot of knitting! Winding yarn by hand is a long long process isn't it? I may put a ball winder on my Christmas list :-)
ReplyDeleteWay more than I should be knitting, I bet! I have a ball winder, but it's not big enough and I couldn't wait to take it to the yarn shop. :) You should get a ball winder!
