My camera (unfortunately not myself) went on vacation, and I have been busy with jobs and classes, but here's the short version of the story:
I finally checked Knitting Without Tears out form the library. There's really no need to explain any more than that, is there? I was immediately inspired, so I "borrowed" some yarn from the Kenobi sweater and got to work. I'm not going to say what my finished plan is, maybe because I don't know yet. Or maybe I do. I love this because it's knitting up really fast, and there will be minimal finishing. There's no need for me to go on and on about all the great ideas and advice in this book. (And I probaly shouldn't mention that I went ahead and bought all her boooks, including this one.) I also want to say that Knitpicks Options are (great birthday gifts- thanks Josie!) the perfect needles for a sweater in the round.
Well, time for a dog walk. Here's a picture of Pirate Bob and his new peg leg:
