Finally sitting down with a cup of "cozy chamomile" tea, my computer, needles, and yarn! Oh and of course the best way to knit...in my pajama pants and sweatshirt! Been a busy night working on a school project (many parts to it including a 10 page paper), dinner, and walking the puppy!
Wow, I didn't realize that it would be so difficult to guess-timate (is that a word?) Walt's future size. By the way...Walt was born May 24th, 2009 and is a golden retriever...and is growing as fast as a blink of the eye!
I originally started the pattern as instructed because the directions said that the sweater would stretch ... well not as much as I needed it to :( So after completing the sweater as instructed, taking all the stitches out, re-completing the sweater with additional stitches, taking all the stitches out, and nearly tripling the initially called for stitches I am finally on my way! My goal is to have the sweater a little big so Walt has room to grow into it during the winter.
Hoping to have the sweater complete by tomorrow night along with pictures of Walt modeling the sweater. I am going to make additional sweaters in this pattern~will be available on ETSY!
Posting a recent picture of Walt so everyone sees what a sweet puppy I am making a sweater for!
Goodnight BLOG!
