Change of Season
The rain is back and summer is officially over. I love everything about fall. The cool weather, the smell of leaves, the beauty of changing colours, pumpkins with real whipped cream, holloween, wooly sweaters, scarves.... well, the only draw back is I'm having problem getting up the morning. Anyways, some progress report on knitting...
Jarrett Completed back and front pieces. I haven't abandoned this sweater and it has grown quite significantly since the last post. I am already at 10 inches for the right sleeve. No mistake yet, yay! Looks like someone will have a new sweater for Thanks Giving.
Buttercup Completed back and feft front. This is suppose to be an easy knit but turned out to be a complete disaster. I reworked the back twice and I'm glad I finally made passed that "armhole" decrease. This pattern is definitely not for "knitter with little experience" like Kim said.
Cable Sweater Completed back and front pieces. Remember this fellow? It has been sitting on my bedside table all summer. I'm hoping to finish this before holloween so that I can cast on the seed stitch sweater jacket I posted couple weeks ago.
p/s: Thank you so much for all your tips on the swing coat. That pattern in Phildar is perfect. I love it! I placed an order of the mag right away and now just have to wait patiently for it to arrive. Thanks guys, what would I do without you :)

Everything looks amazing :) I especially love buttercup and your cabled sweater. What pattern are you using for the cabled sweater?
Your Jarret is comming along nicely! I hope to be getting back to mine in about three weeks. Buttercup looks beautiful as well.
Don't cables remind you of crisp fall weather?
They're all so lovely! I don't think I've ever seen that cabled sweater before...can't wait to see how it turns out!
It's definitely sweater season now and I'm already getting sucked in too! I hope you get that Phildar pattern by the time we have our meet up. I want to see it. It looks SO cute.
Buttercup disaster: you and me both, sister. Though all I have left are the sleeves, I can't bring myself to do them. Though wouldn't it be great if we could finish it and have Ang take some pictures of the two of us in our Buttercups?
The other two sweaters are looking lovely, the Rowanspun especially is so yummy and perfect for fall. Makes me want a cup of hot cocoa right now.
Love your fall sweaters! You should finish Buttercup soon too, just to catch those last bits of summer ;)
i love buttercup. mine is sitting there waiting patiently for me to restart it.
although with everyone in blog land talking about how it really isnt that easy to knit...i am not looking forward to it so much anymore.
Is it too much to love all your projects! And I do love them all, Buttercup is look so pretty I'm glad it's working out for you. So are the plummy cables....
Oh they're all looking great for fall. I have been thinking about my begere de france cabled one, will pick it up again someitme in the future :)
wow! what lovely projects you've got going on!
wow!! you have a lot of ongoing projects at the same time!!
Girl, i really dunno how u keep churning out all this great stuff...:) U r so fast!
They all look gorgeous, but buttercup is super pretty, even if it is a pain! It certainly doesn't look very simple with that stitch pattern.
Your work is superb. I would love to try the Buttercup pattern, always up for a challenge. It's awesome.
the cable sweater looks great, i love the stitch pattern. also like buttercup a lot - you should let kim's website know that the pattern is for a more experienced knitter - i would hope they'd want the feedback!
