On the Needles 10/4/2013

I really haven't done a bunch of knitting or anything else for that matter this last week. It was another hectic week around the household and then the government had to do its thing so now my DH is home with me for awhile. Guess we might start painting next week. So much for my plans.

Anyway, I have been working on this Kimono Cardigan for my mom for a long, long, long time. Well not all of the time there may have been months and months in between picking up the needles on this but that is besides the point right.

I'm hoping in the next century to at least get the back done so I can do the other pieces. I just knit slow so it seems to take twice as long.

I need to get to 27 inches to complete this portion.
 
See the stitch marker. See the needles. I timed myself to see how much I could get done in an hour. That was it. I didn't get up. I didn't stop. I had pedal to the metal. I hope with time I get faster because at times it is so frustrating. I normally don't mind the speed but when I want to get this cardigan done it is a drivin' me nuts.
 
 
For more lovelies head on over to Judy's

  1. Oh Boy, I understand about the lack of speed. Hopefully we will both get there. I keep telling myself to enjoy the process. It going to be a gorgeous cardigan.

    1. If they would quit tempting me with yarn and patterns I would be ok. There are just so many things I want to make.

  2. Knit a row (or two) each day and you'll get there eventually. Enjoy the process, as well as the finished product.

  3. As the saying goes... Slow and steady wins the race. Your knitting is beautiful. It will be one beautiful sweater when you are finished.

  4. Your knitting is lovely. It's better to knit slowly and get it right than do it too fast and have to rip back. As someone else said, slow and steady wins the race. You'll get there soon.

    1. That is true I just need more time in the day I think. Too much I wanna do not enough time or speed to get it all done.
