Two Down, Two To Go!

Ok two down, two to go. Here's the Cable Afghan:






Isn't it lovely? That hand you see in the upper left hand corner is Glenn's hand. He was posing for me. Yeah that's it. Posing. I think the flash may have woken him up.
I had knit up all five panels but I knit one short. I started to rip it down and must have started at the wrong end and had to rip it down a stitch at a time. Yeah like that was gonna happen. I put the short panel on the side and just knit up a sixth panel to attach. As you can see it came out great.
I'm now working on the Shale scarf. I should have this done in the next couple of days. Then is the dreaded sweater for Pat.
Ok I have to talk about this sweater. If you've been reading for a while you know that I knit this too long, got mad at it, gave it to Al to fix for me (thanks again, Allyson!) then promptly put it in my closet. That was a year ago. I think I'm afraid of this not just angry. Well I'm not angry anymore because that's faded. I think I am afraid to put it all together. I've never done this and it seems complicated. This is a fear I will be getting over this week because I'm determined to be UFO free come May. If I can get over the dpn fear and the kitchener anguish, I will kick the sweater's butt!

Where does the kitchener go? I'm a big fan of subbing 3 needle bind off...

The blankie looks wonderfully cozy - it even knocked poor Glenn out! ;)

You can finish the sweater - I know it! I'm looking forward to seeing that as a FO, too.

Gorgous blanket - I love the color and the cables!

Good luck finishing the sweater
