Sweater for Millie - Finished Back

The back of Millie's sweater was finished late last night. I worked on this piece for one week. The right and left sides are worked exactly the same as the back. I think I will cast-on both sides onto the same circular needle using two balls of yarn and knit them at the same time. That means I will not have a finished part of the sweater for two weeks, but at that time I will be ready to start on the sleeves.

Sweater for Millie Continues

After knitting on Millie's sweater for six days here is the result. The back is 4/5 finished. My goal is to knit a ball of yarn in two days. That is right at 50 rows. If I can maintain that progress the sweater will be finished before the end of Oct!

Sweater for Millie - Third Day

The back of Millie's sweater has gotten off to a good start. The pattern is easy to remember and the yarn is wonderful to knit with. So far - so good!

Sweater for Millie - First Day

The swatch for Millie's sweater measured correctly for the size needles called for in the pattern, so I didn't have to make a change of needle size. I cast on the stitches for the back and knitted 12 rows last night.

I'm down to weaving in yarn ends on Ann's striped sweater.

I found a new pattern for dishcloths last week titled Nubbins. I have made a couple, mailed one to Ann at college (because it was pink). I'm using some new (new to me, at least) cotton yarn from Michaels called Twist for these cloths.

Sweater for Millie

I received the yarn for Millie's sweater today. Recently I have been knitting on dishcloths and a baby blanket (pictures coming at a later date). I almost have Ann's striped sweater finished. My knitting time now will have to be divided between Ann's sweater and starting on Millie's.

It is impossible to have such wonderful yarn in the house and not be knitting with it.
