Review of French Girl Knits

My second Craftnicity post

I almost didnt remember writing it! :)

Finished my first sweater!

ok...it took me long enough. And I still have 5 others OTN, but I did it. I finished and it is wearable (I have finished other sweaters that were just NOT wearable and I had to frog).

Not a great pic - but I am wearing it to work today...and I have to say I feel Fabulous!

Pictures at Last

Here are pictures of a few of my squares:

Well Thank God it's September (at least for my squares project).....it means no cables for awhile, lots of knitting while watching both college and pro football *Go Penn State! Go Steelers!!* and quicker finishing....

I finished all the squares this week (CO'ed todays)....and they were great. I even knit a whole one at a meeting the other day and was very disappointed when I ran out of yarn 1/2 way through the meeting with no way to get more....:)

Will try to organize the squares thus far and take pictures and post them. I now have ideas for blankets/afghans for friends and family using the squares as I head into Holiday knitting season.

And Happy Birthday to my Peel Sis, Cran!!

Slowly but Surely

I found my cable needle. I don't *love* cables yet but I can slog through them. I did love the woven cables in relief.

No pics yet - will remedy that over the Labor day weekend. I heart the square I'm doing today- it is the blanket rib - very sturdy and textury. September's squares look much less daunting....

I really need to be patient and mark the squares and be sure that I know which ones I have completed.

A week Later

Well I have temporarily given up on doing the cables until I can find my cable needle or get a new one (I "organized" and I can't find the freaking thing!)...

So I went forward and backwards in the calendar (only in the month of August* which seems to be 90% cables!)...and did a few more squares.

Gate and Ladder Pattern (August 23)

Squares (June 18)* (I forgot that I did kinda skip around :))

Checkerboard (June 19)

Ok ....now my disorganization and/or procrastination is catching up with me. I *thought* I had marked each square with the pattern name. Ok...so I didn't or if I did, they didn't hold.

I will now do that...but I still have one or two squares that I can't figure out *which* pattern I used....sigh....will I ever learn?

Photos *will* come this week. I promise. My friend, Beth, has a blog "Confessions of a Disorganized Perfectionist". I think mine should be "Confessions of a Disorganized Procrastinator".
