Out of Hibernation

I promised myself that after Christmas, I’d get back to knitting on my February Lady Sweater, which has been on the needles since November 2008.

(Sadly it’s not even my oldest unfinished project … that award goes to my Clapotis, which I started in June ’08.)

I was worried when I dug out my February Lady that I’d have trouble figuring out where I left off. Thank goodness the lace pattern is only a repeat of four rows (two of which are “purl”), so it didn’t take long to pick it up again

Whew!!

So now I have the entire body of the sweater done and I just have to knit the sleeves. I haven’t decided for sure whether to make them three-quarter length or long sleeves.  (I’m leaning toward three-quarter.) I guess I’ll start and see how I like it as it comes along.

I’m hoping to have it finished on or before my birthday, which is February 24th. Think I can make it?!

P.S. The Blue Moon Fiber Arts Rockin’ Sock Club for 2010 is now open for sign-ups! You better believe I signed up for the next year — there’s going to be some phenomenal pattern designers participating again this year. I can’t wait! Christmas present to myself… heh.
