Progress Pic Of Sweater I Am Knitting
« on: May 21, 2008, 09:55:51 AM »
Howdy SBG!

I am currently knitting a sapphire blue wool sweater for myself and just shot the first progress photo. Thought I'd share it with my fellow sly folk here.

I think it's coming along ok but still a long way to go to finish it.

Thanks. I hope to have it finished in a couple of weeks, but that's going to depend a lot on how much time I have to work on it once I get back out on the road. It's taken me about 4 days to get this far, but have also been busy with doing laundry and other chores and cchecking on my mother who had throat cancer surgery about 10 days ago.

Thanks. I've knit quite a lot of things including hats, scarves, socks, and various and sundry other things. This is my first attempt at a raglan style sweater.

Trucker, Timmay just set me straight not long ago about the red and whites.....but, I don't know if I'm allowed to disclose the information publicly on the forum.
