Note to Self...

I have been busy with many projects as of late. I have just completed a humanitarian project which required lots and lots of baby booties. Needless to say...I am all bootied out. I also completed "Global Warming" by Suvi S. for my DD. It came out very cute. I used recycled cotton in red for her charter school colors. Very simple pattern. I don't know that I even looked at it except for the math and the puffed sleeve part of the pattern. I find it odd that when I use the smallest numbers for the pattern and generally a US 7 needle I end up taking an adult sweater down to fit my prepubescent elementary school aged child. I guess if it works...stick with it. I have passed that "technique" if you will, on to my next project which happens to be the February Lady Sweater. I think that's what it's called. This one is in a light, almost ice blue also for school. DD seems to be cleaning up on sweaters this year. This being my first lace project I had to knit and frog quite a few times because I kept losing my place. I think I did the first rotation of the pattern 4 times until I realized...DUH! It's lace! The holes are supposed to be there! And then frog again. For as simple a pattern as this is, it is taking me quite a long time to complete. Seriously!
