With 75 different socks listed in this fun book, there is something for everyone.

Dewey’s Knit-a-Long Update

I Joined the knit-a-long back in January and would like to share my progress to those of you who are interested.

I completed a UFO (unfinished) sweater. I had all the parts to it knit but never sewed it together. Here it is:
Front:

The directions say to embroider a French knot for Mr. Polor Bear’s eye and nose. I’m not convinced that I should. What do you think?

Back:

I tried the sweater on and came to the realization that sweater was designed with women with a smaller bustline than I. LOL! Um, I look like Dolly Parton in it.


I also started the shawl that I pledged to make for a friend of a friend. I am half way done. See it here:

It currently measures 31 inches. The pattern said it should measure 60 inches and then add long fringe at both ends. The person I am making it for is quite short and wants it to be 50 inches and then fringe. I am going to insist we meet up when it measures 50 inches to do a fitting and make sure before I fringe it. I think it may look funny without the other 10 inches.
