My one and only FIRST KNITTED PIECE! woot me.
The tips of my index & thumb fingers on both hands are numb from knitting - is that normal?
Looking at this shape, either my tension increased on the lower portion of the sweater or I shouldn't have done the last shaping 10% decrease that EZ lists in her direction, right before the bottom band begins... (I really need to work with less tension. My hands hurt a little, at least not as badly as when I crochet...)
I made so many mistakes and they all seemed to happen on the front side. I swear, the inside looks so much better! LOL! Will blocking do anything to help the outside?
The sweater is tiny! 7-inches across measured under the armpits. Its still dollsized, maybe an American girl doll? LOL.
THE DOCTOR: What have we here?
ME: I'm knitting a hat for Nia. She doesn't have any winter things.
THE DOCTOR: Very nice. Can you knit me one? I realize it may be something of a challenge, as I don't have a humongous beach ball head like she does.
ME: Oh come now. You ought to be the last person to judge a book by its cover. Or a girl by her knickers.
THE DOCTOR: Yeah yeah yeah, I'm deeply remorseful and contrite about her ill-considered ensemble. There, now that that's settled, can I have a hat?
ME: Sigh. Of course I'll knit you a hat, light of my life.
THE DOCTOR: ...
ME: You probably wouldn't want pink though.
THE DOCTOR: Why? What's wrong with it?
ME: There's nothing wrong with it—
THE DOCTOR: Well then?
ME: —but, enh. Look, it would take too long to explain, and you wouldn't be terribly satisfied with the explanation, so just pick another color.
THE DOCTOR: Is this one of your "I'm an art student so I'm super picky about these things" things?
ME: Let's just say that the planet Earth is not quite ready for the Doctor in pink.
I wanted to make something that looked a little "retro"--you know, like we had on our couch when I was 9 or 10? This was the first time I ever joined the squares as I went...I learned from Lucy at Attic 24.
Finished knitting the hearts sweater and started another Dollswest fairisle but in Knit Picks Palette.
I really enjoyed this project and pleased that it also fits!

A closeup of the individual motifs seamed into their hexagon shapes. Still a bit damp from being sprayed yesterday, so I'll leave these for a couple of days now to dry out before seaming them into the afghan configuration.
Two folded blankets I made. I used Knit picks Shine Sport which I love for blankets. It is so soft and washes extremely well.

Circle of Friends square (rav link)
I made 2 squares and used single crochet to bind them together at the edges. This is totally copied from hot pads I saw at a B&B a couple of weeks ago. The yarn should be woollier, though. Telemark feels so cottony to me.

The hexagon blanket continues to grow. I still need to add to the width but I've established the top and the right side edges. As you can see, the quality of the pictures has greatly improved. I've got my talented daughter, the photog, to take care of the glamour shots for me.
