[...] I’ve been plugging away at that sweater for about a week now, doing a few rows here and there after supper and before bed. This image [...]

I wouldn’t be surprised if there *was* some kind of knit-along on Ravelry. I never looked! You really ought to just jump in and try it! What’s the worst that can happen?

So far, so good with my sweater. I’m just over halfway done with the yoke, and it looks nice on the needles – whether I’m ending up with a garment that will be the right size or not remains to be seen, but so far I’m still optimistic

There will be plenty of sweater-knitting over the weekend, if I have anything to say about it, so I’ll be sure to post some updates.

Lisa,
I would love to see your sweater progression. You see I just got that book too and have always wanted to knit my own sweaters and am very intimidated by it. So I am glad to see you take the leap and would love to see how its coming along.
Maybe there should be some kind of knit along for the new knitters.

The yarn shop has this sweater month thing going on, so I figured now was as good a time as any! Lots of local support right now
So far I’m a little more than half done with the yoke. Assuming it’s the right size…

I do like them a lot, and if I were a faster knitter, I could probably crank out a cloth every day! As it is, it takes me a few. But even that is acceptable

Snap – Ive knitted those washcloths too – they are fab aren’t they? Really simple but look gorgeous and complicated – really impressive! Think I might have to do some more now you have reminded me how much I love them

Socks are my 2010 knitting goal, too. I’m starting now and making socks for everybody on my next year’s Christmas list. BUT first I’m making myself a pair-gotta have priorities ya know!

We do spend more on our hand-knitted garments, but to justify it-they’ll last forever! Can’t wait to see your finished sweater!

I really want to try socks, too. My list of things to knit is getting longer and longer… I hope you’ll show of your socks when they’re done!
