Jofrog is Knitfrog!
October 1 2004
Naomi could not be happier with our new family members. She spends a lot of the day looking at them. This morning she was jumping for joy because they moved and got yet even more tubing. What happy animals we have here! I, on the other hand, am jumping for joy because FINALLY sleeve number two is done on my Lace Yoked Cardigan. Most sweaters I do both at once, but for this sweater I did them separately. They could not have seemed to last any longer! It didn't help that the antique directions were not very specific on shaping the sleeve caps, and of course the small gauge. To avoid being arrested for indecent exposure while wearing this incomplete sweater, I cast on for the first front tonight. You may remember me posting before that the pattern wanted me to sew in a grosgrain ribbon at the end on the button bands and then machine sew button holes in. I don't think so. They also wanted me to crochet an edging up the fronts. This just seems to harsh for this delicate sweater so no crocheted edge either. Instead I'm doing a slip stitch edging that will leave nice finished edges and continuing the bottom ribbing up the button bands. It's looking good so far. You will just have to wait and see. Jumping For Joy!
