A Knit-a-long, I'm So Far Behind I'll Never Knit Up!


Had the yarn and needles all ready to go. A couple of extra skeins as I was still torn between a hoodie or the Heather Hoodie Vest. Then I found out that Knitting Daily was having a Knit-a-Long (KAL) of the Heather Hoodie Vest. Decision made, I'm going with the Vest!

I found out that the KAL had already started. Yikes! Let's see:

January 11 - January 25: We were supposed to make a gauge swatch and knit the back of the sweater. (I had cast on February 1st.)

January 25 -February 15: Cast on and knit the fronts. (hey, wait I'm still working on the back)

February 15 - February 22: Knit the hood and the front and sleeve bands. (I'm headed to Kansas for a few days...finally got the back done and the left front cast on - I'll pick it back up when I get home)

February 22 - March 1: Finish the sweater and post pics....(I will still be knitting).

While many others are staying on schedule, I'll be knitting when I can but like I said...I'll never "Knit" up! With baby goats being born, bringing in some new angoras and an alpaca and a new llama, I'll be lucky if I get done by April Fool's Day!

Hand me that needle, I have to knit like crazy!
