smooches, more or less

More smooches: Wendy presented her finished Smooch yesterday - knit in record time, I'm sure! And it would seem that just as Wendy was finishing, Bonne Marie was casting on for her Smooch. Finally, all the way from Hamburg, comes a picture from Inga of her own Smooch in progress. We're everywhere, baby!

Less smooches: I relaxed yesterday by ripping out my old Smooch. Here it was looking more smoochy before and a bit less smoochy after. I'm so tempted to cast on for another one, but I do recall that I said I would try to rededicate the summer to the baby knits piling up in my to-do basket. I think this old Smooch yarn will find a much better home in one of the pipsqueak sweaters for the boys.

Whoever thunk it would grow this big? Thanks for taking it on, baby! Yours looks mighty flirtatious by the way. And I like your idea of combining the best elements of Pagan and Smooch in one. I've been thinking along the same lines. Why aren't there 50 hours in a knitting day? Why?!?

Hi Alison,

gerade eben habe ich auch mein Smooch begonnen. Also schon zwei deutsche Mitstrickerinnen und beide heissen auch noch Inga!

Gruesse aus Aachen,
Inga

I finished the redone Smooch. Now its low cut but still decent. I did lose some of the length but I don't think it looks too cropped. Yeah - its done for real this time!

I started my Smooch yesterday! Granted, I've already needed to rip it down twice... but I continued to knit it by flashlight last night after the power failure - does that count for something? :-)

Is it too late to join the smooch-along? My supplies are on the way.

The more the merrier. Welcome Inga, Melissa, and Charity!

I would like to smooch, too :-) also from Germany (nr. Munich). I ordered rowan magazin and yarn on Friday, hope it will arrive soon!
