Finally finished my Dropped Stitch Sweater

I really like the way it turned out.
Now I'd better get going on the Christmas knitting.

There has been knitting

I started a new project yesterday. Flame socks for my son for Christmas. I think it's safe to tell. I don't think he checks my blog. I've owed him a pair of socks for a while now. He wants black, but I just couldn't get into plain black socks. These will have flames inside his shoe so he'll be able to wear them to concerts he plays in.
I finally sewed on the last sleeve on my Drop Stitch sweater.
A tiny bit of progress on the Sidewinder socks. The people who have seen them like the yarn I dyed for them. Still no clue whether they'll fit when I'm done or not. Somebody may end up with a cool pair of socks for Christmas if they don't.

Drop Stitch Sweater Progress

I am almost finished with the Drop Stitch "T-shirt" from the SNB calendar. Here is the back with dropping stitches in process. I have finished the body and sewn up the shoulder seams. The sleeves are going to be a little tricky though. I made them and the body in the round and the armhole openings are larger than the sleeves. Gotta go ask Sharon....good thing Yarn Deli is open til 6. Mean while I am wearing it as a sleeveless tank.

Drop Stitch Progress

I worked on the sleeves to my Drop Stitch T-Shirt from the SNB calendar. The stitches have been dropped and sleeves are bound off. There are ruffles knit into the front and back of the lower arm edges. You can see the size difference between the sleeves from pre to post dropping stitches. I knit the sleeves both to 12.5 inches to start. I haven't measured the finished sleeves, but they look substantially larger to me.

The color is closer to true in the progress shot, rather than the finshed sleeve photo.
