Hitofude Cardigan Progress Week One


So here I am ready to report on my first official week of progress of this fabulous knit.  My Hitofude is comping along nicely.  I am still on the sleeve section, about half way through.  The stitch pattern is easily memorized and I find that I pick this up to knit while watching a tv show.

Care to join in the knitting fun?  Steph and I are knitting along, and prodding each other along to knit and finish this unique design.  When do you start?  whenever!  When do you finish?  Hopefully sooner than later.  Care to share?  post a comment on either my weekly post or Steph's weekly post.  We are having a loosey goosey knit along!!

Eep!  I just saw Steph's progress......I need to get knitting!!

    no race here, remember??!!?? I think I was caught up in the 'this can't be right' mode----and just HAD to get beyond ripping out that @#)*)*#@ provisional cast on (and dreaded 3-needle BO...why do I hate it so?); things have slowed down a bit again!
    I really really love the color you are using. This is fun!!!

    Your sweater is coming together nicely! But no, I saw Steph write the words provisional cast on. In fact I think she said there were TWO and I started shaking slightly. I will sit in the corner and knit my socks and watch you fabulous ladies knit from afar. We are all cheering you on!

    I ordered some gorgeous butter yellow yarn for my Hitofude. It's on it's way and then I'll have to learn the provisional cast on. And since I don't knit that fast I'll be ages behind you! But I'm very excited!

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
