I did absolutely no knitting this past week. School started, and all of my energy and focus was on getting things set up and keeping ahead of what I needed to do for work.
Luckily, last Monday I posted a link to my new YouTube video, so I did not post on the progress I made on eldest nephew's sweater. And I had made progress.
It's just about five inches away from being done with the back. Yay. If I wasn't working and it wasn't so blazingly hot, I'd believe I'd make my self-imposed deadline of having this back done by the end of August.
At least I'll be close. Hopefully I'll get some knitting time in as I settle into my long term subbing gig. But I'm not counting on that.
I hope everyone's back-to-school (or whatever you're up to at this time of year) is going smoothly.
Sweater Tracking:
I'm sure you had a busy week! You are always so organized, the sweater is looking grand.
ReplyDeleteI did. Thanks.
DeleteIt does look nice! I've always liked that cable stitch, I have a habit of putting my finger under the loop part!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to get your fingers into, that's true.
DeleteIts girl's stuff. Well, what can I tell right now is the same as you said to all of us here. Hopefully all the project, or any programs all of us have to be done and going through will be carried on without headache on our head up to back-to-back activities in our life
ReplyDeleteIt’s looking good
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteBeautiful work, as always. I don't like doing needlework during hot weather, too, but you'll make up for lost time.
ReplyDeleteI find it's worse when I'm busy during the day. No brain left at night.
DeleteIt's coming out nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThe pattern is GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThat looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteSo far, looking good. Yes, school in the US have re-opened. Here schools open in June-July. But colleges and univs have their own calendar.
ReplyDeleteHere in India, it's now going to a season of festivals from day after tomorrow onwards all the way up to New Year.

Hi Liz - that looks really good ... and obviously you'll be encouraged to get it finished, as it's so near ... well done - we're in our early Autumn, and I hope some rain! - life, whichever age we are, goes on in the appropriate (usually!) time-frame. Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteschool doesn't start here til next week. Had to look it up. Some of our school zones aren't marked well and do not have lights that go on when school zone is active, you have to guess if you don't have kids, if its a school day or not. Its designed that way to be able to maximize city ticket funds, lol. Well its true. Or they say "when children are present" so you start trying to see if you see any kids somewhere.
ReplyDeleteAnd each district around here is different, too. The district I went to school in started two weeks before us. The city I live in's district started yesterday.
DeleteYay for the back nearly finished! Back to school is going well so far, my first class for the new teachers is tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis is Birgit and this is looking so good! I love the colour and the pattern. I wonder if you could place that dragon pattern on the back of a sweater?
ReplyDeleteOn the back of *a* sweater or the back of *this* sweater? A sweater is a yes. This sweater, well, this is the back. I'm not changing it up now.
