Leftovers...

Soaking as I type. This is my first finished knitted garment. Other than hats, socks, mittens, and scarves. I can't wait to block it! Wa-hoo!

I spent about an hour finishing up the armhole on Leftovers. All ends are woven in. Except for the neck ribbing. I worked the medium size the whole time, and when it came time for picking up the stitches around the neck, I had only picked up enough for the small size. Well, I thought that the stitches were nice and even, so I'll finish. WRONG! Turns out, I do need the extra six stitches to make it fit over my head once the collar had been sewn. I should have it done by tomorrow, in time to wear it to a play that my French class is going to go see in Indiana. A day off of school. Finally. Sometime, I'll post how fast my classes have been going and why it's so hard to get any knitting done.

I wish I could have gone to Rhinebeck...That's all I've been reading about for the past week and I'm sure that's all I'm going to hear about for a while...Poor me and everyone else who didn't get to go.
I cast off (casted off?) these the other day. They are for my size 7 feet, two at a time, magic- loop, toe- up with Trekking # 110, I think. I just did a 2x1 ribbing until I got up to where my calf roughly started and then increased into 2x2 ribbing. I'm pretty sure I'll be giving these to either my brother or sister for christmas...We all have the same sized feet at the moment.

Next weekend, I'll be teaching my grandma how to knit socks. She taught me how to knit and purl and I've learned the rest from everyone here on the internet. I'll probably get some decent pictures of the socks next weekend too.

I swear. Leftovers has been almost done for a couple weeks. I just have to do the ribbing around one armhole and then I have to sew the neck ribbing. But I might rip that out and add another six stitches to make it a bit stretchier. Then I have to weave in end. Maybe I can have a knit photo shoot next weekend. I hope so. And with real pictures...I hate my webcam.
