Sleeves anyone?

I finally finished the body on Olive.  I’m soooooooooooooo excited.  I was up ’till 11:00 last night working those last rows.

Then I tried it on.  It looks great.  It fits great.  It also makes me look at tad pregnant.  Oh well.  It’s the style right?  If I had used the yarn stated in the patter, maybe it would have turned out differently.  Too bad.  It feels like heaven regardless.

(Kind of hard to take a picture of your torso… when you’re by yourself.  I suppose I could have used a tripod but… you get the drift.)

I think it’s beautiful.  The pattern’s great.  The yarn is great.  The colors are great.  The price of the yarn was great (Knit Picks).  

Now… big decisions:  short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves or long sleeves????  Help.

I have enough of this yarn to make another sweater.  I think.  Maybe with a pink stripe instead?

Oooooh. What to make next?????

I should finish my Korella.  It’s in exactly the same place as the last time I posted a picture.

Maybe “Fetching”?  Can you believe that 11,514 people have knit this pattern?  It’s a free Knitty pattern.

I figured, it’s a quick project.  I have the yarn in my stash so I won’t have to spend any money (which is always a bonus) and they’re pretty. 

THEN, I’ll finish my Korella.  Then I’ll start my February Lady.  (According the Ravelry, 6,252 have made that sweater.  It’s also free.)

I don’t think I got enough yarn to make this though.  Funny thing is, on Ravelry, if you look at all the people who have made the February Lady, some of them use540 yarns, some 880 yards while others use 1250 yards.  Don’t worry – I looked up all the small-mediums.  So, I’m a little worried about running out.  And I got the Louet in Waterloo at the market.  What if I can’t find the same dye lot?  Yikes!

Well, I suppose I should get ready for work now.  What I would MUCH rather do is stay home and finish Olive so I can wear it tomorrow.  In a perfect world….

Before I go though, check out these sky pictures I took last week when we got that rash of storms.

Isn’t it beautiful?

A great weekend to everyone and I wish all of you lots of knitting time.
