Whew. I’ve been a marathon knitter lately, I’m knitting one thing that I want to have done by Christmas, it isn’t a surprise, but I would so like Brandt in this Christmas day.
As of last Friday, I had knit this much of the body, knit flat, the fronts and back all in one piece. Two hundred and some odd stitches per row.
After seriously assessing my progress v. time left to knit, I got a move on. As of Wednesday, this is where I stood, a good chunk of knitting done, but so much more left to go!
I’m picking up the collar tonight, then zipper facings, and then sleeves. I have all weekend to knit, zippers are ordered ( I got more then one, to better insure a good color match) from Zipperstop, and should be here tomorrow or Monday. Now usually, I order custom cut zippers from Zippersource, and they’ve always come through with a perfect zipper, and you can even send them a yarn sample for a good color match, but they take longer, and time is crunched here, so I ordered a couple of YKK ready made zippers, and am hoping for a good match. No prob, right? Just keep telling me that!
Gladys really likes it, and I think that she’s secretly hoping it doesn’t fit, so it can be her new cat bed. Keep dreaming, Gladys.
Also! The next shop update is up! Just a little one for today, but I will definitely have another little one up on Monday!
Wow, you really are a super-speedy knitter! And I must say, I can see why everyone goes nuts for your yarns; they really are faboo! Hopefully after all this holiday nonesense is over, I can get some and whip up some first socks!

I love all this tweedy knitting you’re doing lately. This looks like it will be another great sweater!
wow! Look at you go! You could totally get his sweater done before Christmas. I love the tweed. I’ve ordered from zipperstop before, they are very speedy!
Nice sweater. Pretty cat. 🙂
Hey, any chance of getting Steelers-colored yarns in your shop?
