I even put the first sweater in the picture so you would know I didn't cheat... Anyway, I'm shooting to get the sleeves done today on it. Then I'm going to take a break. I won't start #3 until Monday. I'm planning on working on some of my projects over the weekend then try to finish the last 2 sweaters next week. Have a good weekend!!!!

I am not the best person when it comes to working on projects that I "need" to get done. Right now that's really all I have. The problem is that I stop knitting completely. I find other things that "need" to be done... or that I just would rather do. So here I am, halfway thru September, and I'm just at the sleeves on the second baby sweater. These babies are going to grow out of these sweaters if I don't get them done soon!! I really need to buckle down and get moving on these! I've got other projects that I want to get back to. So twenty lashes with a wet circular knitting needle if I don't get at least the body done today on the second baby sweater!!!! Maybe I'll ask Matt to hide the Psychonauts game from me...

I have a confession to make: I did practically no knitting yesterday. I'm already tired of the baby sweaters (and I only have one done) so I spent the day re-playing Psychonauts. Ya, that's productive. I'll try to get some more done today. I'll just plan on the same goals as yesterday. Or cast on something new. Or play Psychonauts...

Holy Krap! We're almost halfway thru September!!!! I don't think I've worked more than 4 rows on any of WIP's this month! However, I hadn't planned on knitting up 4 baby sweaters or trying to finish up the Project Linus blankets. Sometimes other projects become a priority... Speaking of the baby sweaters, the first one is finished expect weaving in ends, buttons and blocking:

Retired KAL's

The second one is halfway thru the yoke. I'm making all 4 sweaters in the same yarn, but I'm hoping to use different bright colored buttons on each. The pattern is a little vague, but I guess that happens on a knock off free pattern. Luckily, my friend Rosie has done the original (from a Leisure Arts pamphlet) and could help me out... with how long the sleeves should be. I'm going to be hunting down the original pattern. September Challenge Goals for today: finish the body of the 2nd baby sweater work on something from the Current WIP list!!! (probably the Sampler Pullover?) So that's the plan for today, and probably most of the week. Mix in a little afghan work and that's about what I'll be doing.

Thanks to Matt at Crowing Ram for the button.
