Project #1 Complete, well, almost

As of Monday, I completed the knitting portion of "Knitting Project #1." I do not have a photo yet, but I am attempting to "block" it tonight. I have never, ever done this before, so wish me luck.

I have asked my grandmother and a few other "experienced" people about this process and I have gotten several different responses.

Technique #1: Place a damp towel over the project/sweater and use an iron to even out. I am a little nervous about this. I do not want to flatten the "Rouching."

Techniques #2-4?!?!: Check out the video. It uses various techniques.



So I think that I am going to go with the steam method. Hopefully, I will not screw this up!! ;)

I am Super, thanks for asking!

Check out my Halloween costume! (I am on the left)


'Ain't it SUPER?!? Hee-hee. I crack myself up! Anyways, this is me and my pal Zoey Redbird, aka Royal Rantings from the Queen at a friend's Halloween party.

What are you gonna be for Halloween??

I am sooooo tempted to wear this costume to work on Friday.....

UPDATE: Knitting Project #1

Here is an UPDATE of where I am on my Ruched Cardigan Project, as of Friday, Oct. 15, 2010.



I think that I am making great progress, from a working mom's point of view. Since these photos have been taken, I have actually knitted quite a bit more and I will show you on Day 10. I can't wait to give this to my goddaughter for Christmas!

FYI: If you are interested, I am knitting this using BERNAT Softee Baby Yarn in the color of Warm Rose, chosen by my son.
