Year of projects 19.02.12

Well this is coming rather later in the day than I intended, but then if you could see how many plates I am spinning at the moment, you'd be seriously impressed!

So anyway, I've still not finished my sweater, but I am slowly getting there. The actual knitting process is not the slow bit, it's making the mistakes and ripping them back again!

I did correct a mistake where I had miscounted and now any real fears about the jumper being two short at the neck have been put to rights.

Anyway, I have sleeves and hood to do and the painful sewing it all together, not sure what I am dreading more, the sewing up, or the moment of truth when I try it on and it's too small?

Not being a knitter, should I block the bits before sewing up, as at the moment it is very curly?

I also have to find out what a three needle bind off is.....should I be scared?


Well, my super clever boy has made hot cross bun and butter pudding for supper, so I'd better shoot off.....thanks as ever for all your lovely comments and helpful tips, I so enjoy to hear from you and see what you are up to as well.
