Progress and Pain

I feel like I'm finally making some progress. I know that every time I knit I am making some progress, but when I actually finish a part of something THEN I feel like I am really progressing :)


One Sleeve Done

I'm limping along on my second Rogue; it's only taken me, what, two months to complete one sleeve. But that's okay; I raced through the last one and I really don't mind taking my time with this one.


Little Rage's Sweater(back)

I finished the back of Little Rage's sweater this week. It's a Debbie Bliss pattern from one of the "Knitting on the Go" books. I wasn't sure if I liked the cabled rib on the top but it's kind of growing on me. I'm using Plymouth Encore; I love this yarn for kid's stuff. It's not too expensive, it knits up well, and it holds up to washing well.

This week will be mostly a stitching one--I'll knit if I need a break :)

Well, it's off to get some haircuts. Let me just fill you in on this one. Yesterday Little Diva asked for some scissors so that she could make a puppet. Well, stupid me, I give her the scissors and I go take a shower. I come downstairs and she has proceeded to cut a good portion of the hair off the left side of her head!!!!! "Why would you do that?!?!?" I asked her. "Because it was in my way." So this morning we are off to see if we can salvage anything--she'll either look like a boy for a while or she'll have a mullet. I'm not sure which is worse.

Happy weekend,
aloha :)

Oh my, Kim. Don't hurt Little Diva! I hope she doesn't end up with a mullet. If her hair looks like a boy, well, it will grow out. Great progress on the sleeve. Besides, you've been working on lots of other projects.

I love the blue yarn you're knitting your second Rogue with. Gorgeous. :-)

I've had "boy hair" for most of my life and it hasn't killed me yet, so I think LDiva will survive. :) I've never tried Encore, but maybe will have to give it a try.

Oh no! :) Yep, I remember my little sister once cutting off pigtails, clear below the ponytail holders. Every kid has to have a self-haircut, right?

I think the sleeve looks great- and we (although maybe I shouldn't say this, but better to be armed with info, right?) get snow sometimes into May, so there is still a lot of winter left.

Hope you'll post a pic of the haircut- I know many of those are in my future. :)
