…I am a ‘joiner’. ;o) RR and I are joining the rest of the country at the voting booth (it’s RR’s first time voting *evah* but sssshhh don’t tell him I told you, he’s a bit sensitive about it *grin*).
…and…
I am joining in with the NaKniSweMo KAL. The sweater I will be knitting this month is the St. Patrick sweater from A Fine Fleece, the yarn I am using is Wild Apple Hill purchased at Rhinebeck this year in the colorway ‘Midnight’:
I am knitting the body in the round which is a mod from the pattern. I plan on adding a seam stitch on each side of the body that I will drop and pick up a la EZ to make the sides feel a bit sturdier.
I’m kind of behind schedule since I’d like to be further along but I think I might be able to finish on time. I’m looking forward to wearing this sweater in December when i’m too cheap to turn up the heat during the day. ;op
Good for Roger!! And good for you, too.

Patrick is looking good. Keep going!
Go you! You can totally do it, I can’t wait to see you wearing your new sweater. Tell RR I’m proud of him, regardless of whom he voted for. :)

Yay you and woo-hoo proud of RR.
Love that yarn and that sweater. You can do it!

Alas, I am not a joiner. *And* I am not voting (!!!! – something to do with not being American). My first 8 days of November are consumed by a craft faire (sic) and I must make stupid little things for others to wear or to full (and felt). The upside? I may actually sell something! 8-)
Sweater looks great – yay you! You can do it! And yay for voting.

I want to knit that one too. And the next one and the one previous and, um, maybe all of them?

Really? His first time? and again no one has stated the obvious…You popped his cherry!
Love the new sweater and yarn. That is going to be lovely!

I love that pattern, I’m sure you’ll get it done for December. I’m curious about the seam stitch, something I’ll have to look up.

A sweater in one month? Ambitious. Takes me at least 3 months….Apparently I knit slow….

I chose the NaBloPoMo route. Yours is more productive but I’m thinking your hands are going to hurt more than mine, too.
It’s a pretty sweater and you’re a fast knitter. Go Jess GO!
(See how I didn’t say anything about RR? You don’t want to scare them back into their holes. ;-) )
Ya know, my husband voted for only the second time in his life. He has turned from a man who six months ago couldn’t remember if he was a Dem or a Rep to an outspoken political analyst with full understanding of the most pressing national issues of the day. He woke me up Tuesday night so I could listen to Obama’s acceptance speech with him.
It’s very interesting to see a guy use the Internet for cnn.com and not, you know.
