bunch of stuff finished and being worked on

boy it's been forever since i've put anything on here. and i've got a bunch of stuff finished and ready to show off. ok... here we go



specs:
pattern: armwarmer in love to knit by bronwyn lowenthal
yarn: cascade 220 wool #7821
needles: size 10

i really liked this pattern. it was super easy. the only mod i made had to do with the thumb opening. i knit the sts for the thumb with waste yarn, put the sts back onto the left needle and proceded with the main yarn. later i went back, picked up those sts and made the thumb.





specs:
pattern: lacy long gloves in love to knit by bronwyn lowenthal
needles: size 8
yarn: recycled yarn from a sweater i got from ross for $5

again, the only mods were with the thumb opening









specs:
pattern: saddle sleeve from ez
needles: sizes 5 and 7
yarn: cascade 220 #7821

i love this pattern. it's just so easy to make. i did have some problems in the beginning which required me to frog back on the shoulder part and the bottom. but that was totally my fault because i measured his shoulders wrong. tip from me to you, when you measure you shoulders do it from the farthest point, not the pointy things at the top. it's a two inch difference but that makes a huge difference. also, luke has a v shaped body. he's got really wide shoulders and a tiny waist. so at first i knit straight on the body. so when i finished it it fit great on the top but it was all baggy on the bottom. so i ripped that part and then worked down making decreases as i went. it took me a really long time. and if i'd have thought ahead i would have saved all the time. oh well.

what am i working on now? i'm making another coco jacket for myself this time. no pics yet though
