The ribbings for a purple pullover had been finished for several months, and I had the back already hanging from the machine, but then came the holidays and I forgot it. The poor ribbing got all stretched out of shape so I took it off the machine and knit a new one. Now the basic knitting of the sweater pieces is almost finished.
Above is the back hanging from the LK150. I am really loving this machine. It knits the worsted weight yarn like a champ and is so easy to use.
This is a dark and overcast day here in sunny California, so the above picture is pretty bad, but you can see that the front, back and one sleeve are done. I have already put in a book-on-tape of Sense and Sensibility so will shortly go into the sewing room and finish up the second sleeve.
I got distracted from the light blue empire pullover because it is a little too dark in the sewing room for dropping stitches and picking them back up to create the pattern I want on the yoke portions, so I am knitting plain sweaters for now until the sun comes back. Also started are a pink pullover and a delft blue pullover.
Lots of leftover yarn is starting to accumulate here and there in the sewing room, so I'll have to think of some project to use it up. Not an afghan, though, because I am all crocheted out for the time being.
