My goal is to finish seaming the Auburn Camp Shirt this long weekend.

I finished knitting more than a month ago, before Christmas I think, but the finishing on this sweater seemed so daunting. It involves sewing seams and also more knitting, like the collar and the cuffs on the sleeves.

But I am tired of finishing sweaters at the end of their season. I want to wear this in the spring!

It Is Done!!!!!

I Finished my Shirt about 1 1/2 weeks ago, and finally have time to post about it. I really enjoyed working on this top, and love the yarn. I don't think I would ever wear this without some kind of top underneath.

As you can see in the pic below,the cuffs have a bit of floppage going on. The yarn doesn't have enough body for the weight of the buttons. I think I will re-do the cuffs and make it overlap (more like a waistband), and sew the buttons back on. Otherwise I will always be fiddling with the flopping cuffs.

On to the next project!!

Thanks to the Olympics...

I am making some progress on the back of the sweater.

Almost finished

I posted pictures of my latest progress on my blog -http://norcalknitter.blogspot.com/. I had bought an extra ball of yarn and was still a few hundred yards short. I have 1 1/2 sleeve cuffs to go and I and FINISHED!!!!! THen on to the next sweater!

Now to start the back...

I am back from a fantastic 2-week vacation in Turkey. So I am picking up the sweater to start the back which I am kind of bored with already. But I will press on.

I was not able to stitch the hem as I went along on the 2 front pieces so will have to hem that at the end. My yarn got so tight, it was awful, so I gave up.

More later! Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress.

Camp Shirt Progress

I am almost done with my second front piece. I wish I could keep myself from getting distracted with other projects! I am on vacation and should be home after July 8th. I only brought one other project to work on (we are doing alot of driving - and knitting helps the time go by), I am hoping to get all the main pieces done during our trip and be ready to block it and start assembling everything before I have to go back to work.

I will have some progress photos when I get back from vacation.

Two down, 4 pieces to go?

Yeah, I finished the right front and have a good start on the left front. I'm going on vacation in a few weeks and will be traveling by car, so I hope to get lots more done. It is so easy to get distracted on projects. I was cleaning a closet the other day and came across a few unfinished projects that need to get done, and a rectangular shawl that is never ending that will also be a good travel project. I am also fighting the urge to cast-on for a new project - I must finish a few things first!

Has anyone else done more than 2 pieces? I would love to see how everyone is doing.
