Too many fingers in the pot
Is that how the saying goes?
As usual, I have many projects going at once. My other mitt is this far along
I can't believe that these aren't done yet. Of course if I didn't start other projects then I would have them done right? Oh but that is boring. Well to me that is...
I was supposed to meet up with a couple of other bloggers this weekend for "Steek Fest". What is that? Well steeking is a technique used in Fairisle knitting where you cut the fabric to add sleeves or other such things. Lauren was going to be the gracious host (she still is...it just was postponed) and Carla and I were going to drive down. We are all a little afraid of cutting our knitted pieces so we were going to start small and knit this teddy bear sweater. I kind of panicked on Tuesday when I didn't have anything started yet. So I immediately started. I have the body of the sweater done and still have the sleeves to go:
I really like this fairisle thing! I forgot how much fun it is! So anyway we had to postpone (due to me) and we will be getting together soon and steeking (sounds naughty....)
I also am working on my super secret project for my gift exchange in my spinning guild. This is all I will show:
fun fun!!!

Tease! Now I can't wait for the meeting again. I love your teddy bear sweater. The butterflies are great!

I love that color of your secret knitting, and it's wobbly texture-very nice!

Better to have too many projects than not enough! Everything is looking good so I'd say you have just the right amount.

Steekfest sounds great! It's really not as scary as it seems.

Steekfest sounds like fun! Sitting around a room with scissors held high. Just doing it with another person makes you brave. Adorable sweater.
