Continuing onward through the UFOs

 Picture of me wearing Stormy Wildflowers:

I knit this sweater with several inches of negative ease but as you can see, the fabric is quite light without much structure so it quickly becomes loose.  Any bigger and I would be ripping it out.  The sleeves are loose but better than the body of the sweater.  The dolcino has better memory than the Maya.

 Since I don't want to start another new project until I finish at least one or two more UFOs I resurrected Shelagh from the depths of the "projects past" drawer.   I ripped the right front back to the fold line with the intention of re-knitting the top section correctly.  However when I started to actually measure what I had and knit, I discovered that the entire thing was wonky so I ended up ripping the entire right front and starting over.   I knit from the shoulder through the armhole shaping last night, 87 rows, but many of those rows are quite narrow.  Now I'm on the thicker, double section which will take a while longer.  This time however, I shall knit with thought and do it right.

Thanks for the compliment
on the sweater.  Yes, Ive been growing out the hair and it tends
naturally to a side part and a wave on one side, although it is fine enough
that I have to help it if I want anything longer than a pixie cut.

 

Thanks Gina.  My hair
feels quite long to me as well.  I was intentionally growing it out, and I
think Ive gotten to about maximum comfort, but who knows.  I still fret
over whether it is better at this length or shorter, not that it is long, as
long hair goes, but it may be as long as I can cope with.  I did want it
long enough to pull back, which it is, barely for a short ponytail, and perhaps
a really messy updo, but nothing fancy.

 

Thanks Carolyn and Luni

It looks great on you! You look wonderful. Your hair looks quite long to me.

The Wildflower looks great! And I like that asymmetrical haircut -- it's new, isn't it?
