Not much to report since last week, although I am proud of myself to blogging about my progress on a regular weekly basis which is better than I've done in the past.
The Sedgemoore is moving along SLOWLY. I have finished the first repeat of both charts on the back of the sweater. It is a slow knit for me not because it is a difficult knit, but rather it is just a complex knit. The reason I say it's complex is that you are knitting 2 different charts each row AND the twisted rib between each chart. It's complex and I find that for myself, I need to be fully alert and few distractions to knit this pattern. This is a personal issue as I am a confessed ADD knitter. I do get distracted easily. To quote the movie "UP", SQUIRREL!
But I am making progress on the back of the sweater. I like the feel of the fabric and I am please with the look of the Knit Picks Shine Sport as I knit through the charts. The color is rich and will suit my skin color well. I can see wearing this to work or casually with a cami under it during the warm months and layered over a turtleneck when the weather here turns cooler.
Progress on this project is going to slow down over the next few weeks. I am hosting a fiber arts retreat at the end of February and have 18 small projects to sew up for that and 18 embroidery projects to set up on the embroidery machine. Fortunately, my embroidery machine is set up the pattern and let it go until I need to change thread colors which means I can do some mindless knitting while keeping an eye on the embroidery hoop.
That's all for this week, readers. Stay warm and knit on Fiber Addicts!
