Blocking!!

It's blocking time! This is the first time that I have attempted to block a garment-cardigan type. Don't look to close. Remember, I am new at knitting wearable garments. I am a garment knitter in training (GNIT). It's not perfect, but it is wearable. LOL


Blocking FLS OWL

Off The Needles!!

I have completed my FLS!!! Yay for me. I completed binding off the 2nd sleeve at 6:24 p.m. What's left to do you ask? I have a few ends to weave in, blocking and applying the buttons. I have to admit that I have to search You Tube for a wet blocking video. So, in just a few days I'll have a completed FLS. My first Cardi.

Just off the needles pic:

Almost Done

I am so excited! I have about 2 inches to go on my last sleeve of the FLS. Since the weather is warming up, I decided to do a shorter version of the sleeves. I hope to finish the sweater and wet block today. Tomorrow, I'll work on sewing on my buttons. I see the
"Knitmore Girls" podcast tutorial in my future. Once I finish the sweater, I'll post a pic before attempting to block. This will be my first, blocking a sweater.

Until next time......
