First there was the selection of a novice sweater pattern , then the anticipation of the yarn shopping trip before I could do as much as cast on a single stitch.
Noro Silk Garden: Colour 228 for Klaralund by Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton
Then learning to block and sew up the body seams all while keeping my fingers crossed that the thing actually fits me.
Now I am waiting waiting as patiently as I can for the sleeves to finish drying so I can sew them up and attach them
I might have a finished sweater to show you soon. If my boys can bring themselves to stop squabbling or getting up to feats of impending mortal danger for 5 minutes.
On the other hand, my idea of shortening the sleeves to three quarter length might totally backfire, in which case we'll see how good my ripping out and re-doing is.
