For the first time in forever, I could spend some concentrated time knitting. Ahhhh. The back and one of the fronts of Maisie are finished, and the second front is nearing completion.
The stitch holder is holding the stitches that will turn into the pocket edging, and the hole will go away when the pocket lining is sewn in place. Please admire the stitch holder, which began life as a coat hanger.
Also receiving attention this weekend:
The beautiful Ariann. This is the first sleeve. I was motoring along away from the computer when it was time to decide how to integrate the increases with the stitch pattern, so I didn't see Bonne Marie's clear and sensible answer when the question came up in the knitalong months back. Naturally, the clear and sensible answer is not the one that occurred to me, so we'll see how mine turns out. I like it so far, so cross your fingers when you're not knitting! This is a beautiful sweater and I can't wait to wear it...ASAP in my ExtremeAirConditioning workplace.
(The backdrop is a piece of fabric I got at the GlobalMamas booth at the ever-fun Folk and Roots Fest in Welles Park this weekend. So cute! If I can get up the nerve to take scissors to it, maybe Ellie will get a new dress and/or skirt.)
