Knitting

I have been knitting a lot lately. The problem I have with knitting is... I HATE to finish a project. I like working on it but the actual finishing part I don't like to do. The weaving in of the edges and the piecing it together part is really very boring. So, the first thing I have there is a bootie. It is pretty much finished. It was really really fast but sort of came out big. The only thing I need to do is put a button on it. I finished the other bootie.... but don't have it put together yet. I keep telling myself, 'Julie, you aren't allowed to work on your other project yet until you weave that bootie together.' But I still do.

The second thing I am working on is a sweater. I have the back done already and I am working on the front which you can see posted. I bought that yarn after my Dr appointment on Friday... and have the back done and that much of the front. For me, this is really really fast. I think it is because it is really really easy and I can work in it while the boys play, if I have to stop mid row, it's not a big deal where when I was doing the blanket or even those booties, I can only knit at night when they sleep. When I bought the yarn the ladies were like, 'BLUE?!?!' You have been doing so much blue in the last few years don't you want.... pink or purple? For some reason I just didn't. So the sweater will be blue with the white flowers and then I am doing the hat white with blue flowers. I have never done the edging.... a picot edge it is called. But I think I can figure it out. Hopefully they will turn out as gloriously as the pictures. :)
