just maybe...
The good knitting karma continues. Halfway done with greensleeves and I've used a little under three and a half (of seven) skeins. I just might make it! I finished the back over the weekend and had a little bit extra from the second skein to use on the first sleeve, which I finished yesterday. I had problems recalculating the decreases on the sleevecap for my gauge and measurements. Once again, Maggie's Sweater Design in Plain English came to my rescue with clear explanations of just how to shape everything. After reknitting the top of the sleeve twice, I think I've finally gotten it right.
This is two weeks in a row that I've had to rip out all the knitting I accomplished during my Sunday knitting group. Two weeks ago, it was the giranimals pocket and this week, the green sleeve. Oh well, at least I have fun there. Last week, while I worked on my green sleeve, I also helped Dana with her first sock. Which is actually really cool, since Dana was the person who brought the green tweed to the yarn swap and I brought the sock yarn that she's using. How neat is that!

Hey - Greensleeves is looking good! You knit so quickly, and in moss stitch as well. I am impressed.. I have my fingers crossed that your yarn will hold out - I think you'll be OK.
Maggie Righetti is great. I'm sure I'll be checking out her book when I try to alter Elizabeth I (yarn coming soon I hope). Greensleeves is looking good!
