I’m working hard on this, but I majorly screwed up the back, so I have to tear the whole thing out. I’ll share pictures of what I’ve done soon! I will be able to start working on it again by the end of the week!! Cummon out and cheer me on!

Ok, this thing is driving me NUTS!!!!! I can’t make my whole-y rows line up right (now, why is that?!), and I’m following the pattern exactly right. And after the second row, my stitches add up to 45, rather than 44 (where is that coming from?!). I’m officially SICK of this.

I let my mom try and figure the pattern out, and I think I’ll be on track this time around!! I’m not holding my breath, though =P

So, I’m on track now. I’ve gotten to the middle of the back, so far, so good!

Hurray!!! I finished the back! Now I’m out of yarn, and I have to get busy and spin, spin, spin!!

Ok, so I’ve spun up some yarn, and I’m about 1/2 way through the front left side.

So I haven’t had a lot of time this month to work on this coat. I’m going to wrestle it down to the ground though and finish it during the Ravelympics!! Please pray for my roving supply…it’s starting to dwindle.

Well, I’m trying to finish this for the Ravelympics, but I haven’t dedicated myself to doing it, and I have to clean, clean, clean the next couple of days. SOO, I have 2 weeks to finish this and sew my pants, and study for a college level course. Bleh. Doesn’t help that my gauge changed 1/2 way through my right front panel. I’m still going on with it, and hoping I can block the other pieces to that size.

I’m almost moved to tears with this coat. It’s incredible, I’m at the point where I’m seaming it. I know, I’m SEAMING my coat!!!! Thank you God for not letting me give up on this amazing project, and give me strength to finish the whole thing in 8 days!!
