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

My First Sym Sweater

(Please excuse the pics. My camera sucks! I swear it isn't a user error.)
Okay 2 years ago I bought an issue of Knit It! magazine.


Inside this incredible issue were SEVERAL patterns I wanted to knit. The deal sealer on this issue was this pattern!


So Part of my stash acquisition was to buy the yarn for this sweater for the Syminator. She needs one quite frankly and if I don't knit it now she'll never be able to fit into it!!
She wanted different colors so here they are....


This will be my very first Sweater. I call it the Sym Sweater.
Yeah has a nice ring to it. That is all go back to your business.....
One more sweater project to happen soon as well. Just waiting on UPS to deliver it. ;-)
