But I really am ready to start another large project, and I wanted to finish I Heart Aran first, so I dutifully went back to it and still have hopes that it will be finished by Friday.
So anyways, that's my WIP Wednesday. I really hope I finish this sweater soon, because I feel like it's guilt tripping me from it's little WIP bag.... Which... I mean, I have a lot of WIPs. I guess this one is just more persistent? (Let me tell you, that garter stitch shawl from last year sure is meek.)
Check out more with Tamis, as always.
PS.
If you are one of those people with a super keen eye for spotting mistakes in cables, please don't mention it if you see any. I am not the Yarn Harlot, (even if we do share a birthday) and will not do any crazy sweater surgery or ripping. I am terrible at seeing mistakes so I will never ever know... And I'm okay with that.
What a complicated pattern! Good luck and looking forward to the finished piece!
ReplyDeletewow a gigantic ball off stress, thats a good way of putting it, and scatterbrained because of all the stuff going on in life! Well I hope things get better for you soon. I am feeling exactly the same way at the moment.
ReplyDeleteYour sweater/cables look great.
Fingers crossed for Friday! Its looks gorgeous so far, I love the heart pattern!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I don't blame you for writing it all out! It'll be some fantastic sense of accomplishment at the end xxx
ReplyDeleteI love the cable pattern. Here's hoping to seeing it finished on Friday! Those WIPS can be persistent, can't they?
ReplyDeleteI prefer written instructions to a chart, it is just how my brain works. I like that sweater a lot, it looks great!
ReplyDeletewow that pattern looks majorly complicated, but your sweater looks awesome - i love the colour too xxx
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great! I'm sorry you're stressed. I hope it passes soon.
ReplyDeleteWow - that is going to be a gorgeous sweater! I think I would go nuts trying to do that!
ReplyDeleteWow that is an amazing sweater!
ReplyDeleteNo mistakes to my eyes. It will be a lovely sweater. But don't let the guilt weigh on your mind. Knit what you want, life is too short!
ReplyDeleteKeep on plugging away and your little bits of progress will add up! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteThat's looking really good so far! It'll feel amazing when you finish.
ReplyDeleteI had to giggle from this post! You're writing style is very lovely/funny. Keep going on the sweater, the result will be stunning. It would be a petty if it ended in some basket never to be finished.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about any possible mistakes, my mom always says that is the way to see that it is handmade and thus special. I don't think I would be able to spot them anyway (beginner knitter talking here).
Dont worry!! I am not going to judge your sweater! I think it looks absolutely lovely, and you are brave with all those cables :)
ReplyDeleteI still love the I HEART ARAN pattern - yours is going to be beautiful. Just think by the end of next week you may be wearing it! That'd be awesome!
ReplyDeleteGosh, what a complex pattern! I have to write patterns out all the time - sometimes it's the only way to see them properly. Hope everything comes together for you soon!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, and I also write myself pattern notes all the time :).
ReplyDeletewhoa! very impressive! this looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteEh, it's OK. Sometimes we all need to write out multiple patterning...
ReplyDeletethe sweater looks awesome, and I don't see any mistakes =) good luck finishing by Friday!
ReplyDeleteI am not laughing at all because I do the same to keep track of what I'm working on. I have pages and pages of notes scattered about from projects I've worked on. Your sweater in definitely much, much more complicated that anything I've ever done, so I totally understand the notes :-)
ReplyDeleteI think I'd write it out too, it looks really complicated. It also looks really beautiful and I'm sure it will be well worth the trouble :)
