Now back to our regularly scheduled Mooing...

I have divided for the arm holes! I did it Saturday and have not had a chance to do much else on it, or have been too lazy, you decide.  It's coming along though, now to do 4" of straight knitting on the front right, back, and front left before shaping the shoulders and the neck.  The back will be straight brown while the fronts will still be two color rows but I think since the hood will be brown I should slowly transition into brown towards the shoulder so I have less sudden color changes when I do the hood and making up.  4" is about 32 rows so I have some time to figure it out.  It's really cute.  Also MASSIVE.  I guess my panic about whether it would be big enough has caused me to knit a onesie meant for a small child instead of a baby but that's fine, I'd rather it be too big than too small any day.  The parents are a bit on the tall side so I just didn't want to end up with a super cute thing that took a lot of work that the kid was able to wear for approximately two hours before growing out of it.  I will try to update more regularly as progress will likely speed up now that I'm only using two strands going down to one strand at a time but I've been working nonstop.  I am having a knitting BBQ on the 4th so maybe I'll make some progress then although I also just bought a gel manicure kit that I am obsessed with and have offered manis to my party guests so maybe not anyway I'll keep you posted :)

  1. Um, did I just see you call yourself lazy?I'm pretty sure you've had about 6 hours of free time in the past 4 days, between working, commuting, sleeping, and working out...
