I'm finished!

It's finished! It's adorable, but very big on her. I joke that she'll be wearing it until she's 10! Haha. I love her buttons she chose, they are blue heart shaped, but they wouldn't photograph well for me. But onto other things now...

My priss pot's "secret sweater" is coming along great. A few (funny, if I do say so myself) bumps in the road though. The back is finished. I finished it in the middle of the week and presented it to her. She loves it, I wrapped it around her so we could see how well it fit her, and it'll be a big thing on her. It was so sweet, to see her get all giddy over her sweater. Then when she got upset, she wanted to be wrapped up in the back of her sweater! This weekend is a weekend to myself and sweetie, my dear Mom kidnapped B and they are off to the beach. So I took advantage of the quiet and went to work on the front. I had started on the left front Thursday and then thought it would be a good idea to cast on for the right side and work in a tandem so everything would be even. I thought it was a fantastic idea, the decreases would be even and if there were any problems, I could spot it immediately and fix it. I finished to front today. I thought I had anyways. Sweetie got home tonight and I was like LOOK! since I am all about my knitting projects and he has learned to fein an interest in them. Only when I held it up did I realize I knitted two right sides. Haha. So I have to frog it back and get things right now. I would be finished right now, but another thing had been in the works. Pictures to come hopefully soon.

Sweater is zipping along...

...and it looks fabulous:

Of course it's too dark for true colors, but ya'll get the drift. I luuuurve working with cotton because you can see the stitches so nicely. And that is something I'm strangely obsessed with. This is day 2 right here. And I'm nearly half way done with the back. I pick it up when I can, but of course there's always something to be done. B comes by and critiques it, "Mom! I wanted blue right here." I've had to explain I'm following the pattern and we'll see how it turns out in the end and that keeps her happy. Blue is her favorite color if you hadn't guessed. Hell, I'm surprised that pink made its way into the sweater because she's such a tomboy. But she has said she wants blue buttons for the sweater.

Daughter's cardi, random things...

My daughter is four and I suppose it's because I'm a sahm that she insists on going everywhere with me. We made a trip to Michael's, more out of boredom than anything. They had one of those free pattern slips for this:

She said she liked it, I asked her if she wanted me to make her one, and what colors. These are her colors:

I am making her a size 6 mainly for comfort, she doesn't like things to be tight on her body and so she can grow into it as well. But I think she did a great job at choosing. So now we'll have to go find some buttons...

On other things, I have been working on my hoodie, and I started on the gusset of the left sleeve the other night. Things are coming along nicely, but there's been a few times where I have to go find a reference to understand something.
