Goldilocks and the 3 necklines
Hubby and son went on a cub scout camp-out Sat-Sun which meant had some good knitting time planned. That was until my parents called with an extra ticket to the M's game and a promise of dinner at Etta's, where my brother works. The game was dead. It must only be the die-hards left because there must have been about 15,000 people there, maybe. It was almost felt wierd to be there with so little people. Etta's was great. Knowing someone on the inside meant 3 free appetizers. YUM!!! We ordered an early dinner and dessert and I was home by 8.
Time to knit. I have the yoke left on the Hourglass sweater and finished it as written. When I tried it on, it was way too big. (Jennifer Beals flashback again). Instead of ripping it out, I decided to pick up stiches and do some more decreases. I kept knitting and at 1AM tried it on again but this time I could not get it over my head. Too small. I contemplated fixing it then but decided to go to bed before I made a bad thing worse. Sunday AM I got up and ripped out both the second set of decreases and the inital neckline and started decreases as instructed, add about 5 more rounds. I did an I-cord Bind-off instead of the turned under hem. Finally, it fit!!!!
Time for something a little less size based. I started an Entrelac scarf last night and ordered some yarn for a wrap from Wrap Style.

Hi, just found you through the knitting ring and once I saw Seattle I was hooked. I love Seattle and hope to live there someday soon, all of my husbands family is there and we visit a lot, but I want to live there not jsut visit! I hope you post pictures of your hourglass sweater, I'm just thinking about starting that one and I'd love to see how yours came out!
