Notes

FINALY got some pictures.

  • gotta get buttons on this… gotta get buttons on this… gotta get buttons on this!!!! mabey if I tell it to myself enough times, i’ll sit down and do it!! I hate sewing buttons! lol

  • Blocking!! :D

love this yarn, love this pattern. That’s it, i’m only knitting Gudrun patterns from now on! :D

  • all I have left are sewing the pockets and cuffs, weaving in ends and blocking. Why do I always get to this point then have to force myself to finish!!
  • collar and pockets left. I discovered that I only have 2 US 8 needle and that my longest is too short for when I picked up the entire front/hood for the collar! lol so I had to use my other shorter one with it. I hope with the two together, I’ll have enough space for all those stitches!
  • half way through second sleeve
  • almost done 1 sleeve.
  • I forgot how fast knitting up Worsted is! :D I’ve seperated for the back and front and almost done the back.

brought this as a backup on my work/vacation last week. Good thing! I finished the sweater I was knitting up for my brother. so I started this one. was on a boat for 12 hours for some shark fishing and I definetly got some knit time in! :D
It was catch and release. Tagged it, took some samples of fat, picked off some little copopods and on it’s way the shark went, back in the water. :D
almost 9 feet, 525 pounds! a monster! 1 hour and a bit to real in, and lots of people taking turns on the rod. :D What a great way to spend a day!
