JessaLu Knits (and Spins!)

Archive for March, 2005

Here are the sleeves to the cardi I am making from ChicKnits…I’ve got
SLEEVES!! hehe ) AND they seem to be the same length – not bad for a
first try, eh?

Here is the body of the ‘Booga Bag’ that I am working on. I’ve found
that I am an ADD knitter who can’t work on just one project at one
time…

I went to my first Knitter’s Meetup on March 16th – it was pretty cool.  I’ve always had issues with social stuff – I can’t handle groups of new people at once without having a hyperventilating fit prior to walking in – but I felt instantly accepted.  There were almost 20 ppl there – the week prior there were only 4 and the organizer, Abby, told me/us that she had been going there by herself since November!  Abby and I hit it off right from the start, which was very cool.  I met a bunch of other ppl but I’m horrible with names so I can’t remember any of them (  The ppl at Starbucks were extra super nice considering we took over the entire place and every single chair they had!  There are photos, etc on the meetup.com site (link below).

I’ve finished both sleeves of my sweater and am working on the body of it.  It is the whole body at once on circulars (180 stitches) so its kind of repetitive and taking forever but I refuse to put it down!  I have four inches completed – only twelve or so to go!  )  I’ll post photos as soon as I have a moment.
