Tigger is nearly done
Nov. 23rd, 2004 11:01 amTigger Update: Finished the border last night. Go me! I was going to cross-stitch the new nephew's name across the top of the center panel, but it left some long floats on the back, and I figured that it wouldn't last very long under the care of little boys. The panel looks okay without it. So now, the ends. *sigh* I'd pay someone to do this part.
The Rest of the UnSock Report: The Flower Backet Shawl is up to 96 rows, 28" firmly stretched. Got to finish at least this pattern repeat, then one more, we'll see what the size is then.
Reminded By to reach a sweater down for me last night, so I could measure sleeve length to finish his black sweater. Since I'm procrastinating on Tigger this morning, I REALLY want to do those sleeves. Go figure. Saw a sweater pattern in an ad in one of my magazines I think I should do for By...it's the same lines as the black one I'm working on, but all in plain knitting rather than ribbing, except for a hand-wide band of cables running up the left front part of the sweater.
