Finished the knitting of Sleeves

It's been awhile.. Almost 2 years... On and off... But the knitting part of  Sleeves is finally done!!! ( Sleeves is like a cross between a shawl and a shrug- meant to be worn over tank tops... And I love tank tops) just have to weave in the ends and block. I should be able to wear it for Thanksgiving!!!!

I'm pretty sure today is Thursday..

Check out today's Google Doodle, it's for gameday - and today is the start of the NFL season and the corresponding rise in my stress levels.

Here's the only update on knitting I have.  I have gotten some work done on Sleeves.  I added 2 rows to the green section and then did the right neck/lapel in green, I did half the black and white section and then got the navy section right to the point of the left side neck and lapel..

I can't cast on for my Scoreboard cowl until Monday night (1045pm here!! there are 2 Monday night games this week and of course since I suppose most of the 49er fanbase is on California time we get the late one...) because I don't know which color to start with.  Although, I might start with black (the game break color) so I can get it joined in the round before the game starts or  I may end up with the world's biggest mobius... 


One last thing - check out my friend Grace's blogpost from the other day - she's running a contest - you could win one of her amazing beaded shawls - and it is support of Peyton Heart Project.
 

Knitting...

I haven't actually finished anything yet this month. Had some startitis issues.  I started an "F" bomb, a Shamrock Charm necklace - no pictures of these yet - the necklace needs to be finished for Tuesday obviously..  I haven't touched my vest since seaming the shoulders - I need to pick that up soon if I want to be done for Easter.



I did finish one of my Bow Knot Ankle Socks and started the second.



I started the left sleeve of my Sleeves.



I started a Hexagon Afghan with yarn leftover from my various projects for my nephew, Christopher.  Some of them are almost full rolls - but most aren't something I'd use for other things.  Of course, Miss Can't Follow Directions, screwed it up already.  I did hexagon 1, then hexagon 2, then I attached on the wrong side so am doing hexagon 7... sigh, It's very fixable though. The hexagons are connected with picked up stitches during the cast on, so they are knit together - no seaming needed (that's what drew me to the pattern)  I'm not using a self striping yarn like the pattern calls for - so at random points I'll switch colors to make "bullseyes"  and I'm (so far) weaving in ends as I go.
