I have a bunch of projects on the needles to work on. One of them is a sweater. I haven't settled on more of the design than knowing it is a top down raglan. No plot. No pattern. Oh well.

OH Oh. And having said that... I now have an idea for the pattern. The sweater is connected to the story. Maybe she's even knitting a sweater! And I even know why, now. And what usually happens to them... Wow. Plot and pattern. Thanks.

I'm also doing NaKniSweMo--am I crazy??!!

I'll be knitting Fleece Artist's "Lady of the Lake" jacket in ruby...
See here

It's pretty big gauge so I should be able to do it in a month.

Good luck with your first sweater! And maeham's story/sweater. It will definitely give us blog fodder.

I wanted to do both, and intended to do both.

However.

The sweater I wanted to work on was actually a WIP which I started sometime maybe around last November. Or maybe the November before. Regardless. As it turns out, my idea of what size I actually am was apparently massively skewed when I started. So I need to frog the darn thing and start over.

I figured maybe I'd do a NaFroSweWe (national frog a sweater week) and see how far I could get this month on actually completing the thing. It won't be a full sweater, though, that's for sure! :)

Yeah, I got sucked in too - I'm making Tubey. I did the math and it's a little under the 50,000 stitch count, but since I've already bought the yarn and swatched that's what I'm going with. I figured with the swatching and frogging I'm bound to be doing it should add up close enough the count!

I was considering NaKniSweMo, but am not feeling the knit love right now. I might get inspired this week, in which I may try to catch up :)
