Sym's Sweater Progress

Last night I finished the back panel while watching Sex and the City online until 1:30 am. Yeah I know it sucks doing that when you have to get the kid up by 6:20 at the latest to get her on the bus. I'm proud though. I don't know which one I'm currently more obsessed with, Sym's Sweater or Sex and the City. ;-)

Pattern notes:
So far this is an incredibly easy sweater to knit. The only complexity is changing colors at the end of each row. I think tonight I'll go ahead and weave my ends in. I wish I had done it along the way but I was a little obsessed with completing this portion. I want to finish it before Sym out grows it. Hopefully I'll have it completed by November. That's my goal. Let's see what happens. ;-)

The colors are so Sym. She picked them out herself. On the ravelry, I had a darker pink color, but she didn't like it so we switched to a pale pink. The colors in the sweater are so her it is scary. As I'm knitting along, I think of only here even if she is only in the other room sleeping. I'm constantly thinking of things about Sym that I just adore.
5 things about Sym that I adore...
~ She always has a silly song to sing. (This week it is the Chicken Dance)
~ She has to match her earrings to her shirt of the day. (totally cool!)
~ She is a future Craft Diva (She started her first Cross-Stitch project yesterday.)
~ She says some of the wildest things when you least expect it. (you never know what she'll say publicly or privately. Almost always guarentees you to laugh)
~ She is thoughtful and helpful to others. (My grandmother called and bragged about her behavior last weekend)

Thanks for reading! I'll keep ya posted on the sweater as I have details to report.
XOXOXO

  4. Thanks! Walmart is getting rid of their crafts department so they're clearing out all their yarn, fabric, etc. You might want to check it out. I haven't hit the 280 Walmart yet but Pelham, Alabaster, and Hoover have all bent to my will. I'd like to say cats piled up in my yarn isn't a common event but with 6 it's just impossible.
