Progress Day 3

Now Playing: Every Day Is Exactly the Same - NIN
Topic: Knitting Olympics '06

 
End of day 3 and I have finally gotten the sleeve stitches pulled off onto scrap yarn for later knitting and am now ready to progress with the body of the sweater. It had snowed Sunday and they threatened high winds and power loss so I spent some of my precious knitting time Saturday and Sunday preparing to be without power and gathering water in about everything I could to have enough for the dogs to drink and to use for personal hygene. As it turns out we got nothing much, 1-2" tops and at my house no winds. Oh well on the no snow part but glad about the not loosing power part.
 

 

 
Mom's chugging along quite nicely. I stopped over at her house after work today to watch her bind off so if she had any trouble I was right there and ready to help. She's completed the first half and has a good start on the second side. We're shooting for Wednesday to have that side finished and then we'll go over her pattern to get her started on finishing off the edges and the fringe. Once this one is finished we'll look at the size (we both think it's going to be a bit small) At that point we'll either increase the pattern to make a larger poncho or pick a new pattern for her to keep working on.
