I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Remember the Super Secret Project I mentioned a few times and promised to post pictures of but never did?

Well, it’s done!

I can’t recommend this pattern enough. It uses bulky weight yarn so it knits up super fast, and the pattern is pretty easy to remember. I did make a few adjustments though. I lengthened the body by about an inch. For the sleeves, I did increases every 5 rows instead of 4, up to 67 stitches, and then knitted even for an extra 22 rows to accomodate Boyfriend’s monkey arms.

Love! It looks just like Ron’s in the film:

I think I’m insane.

Beatnik sweater

No, srsly.

For some reason the other day I decided that I just needed to be working on a fisherman style uber cabley sweater and then I happened to come across this gorgeous pattern and before I knew it I had hopped into my car and was on my way to Joanns for some bright orangey red yarn.

So far I have the ribbing done (has anyone else noticed how excruciatingly boring ribbing is to knit? especially when you’re just itching to get to the main pattern?) and one pattern repeat. It’s actually not as hard as it looks, there are just fourteen different cables to keep track of. BUT I printed the chart out and color-coded it and so far so good.

-fingers crossed-

In other news, I got a job! Yay for has-ing of the monies. Boo for less happy fun knitting times.
