Hey!

Guess what I did? I technically finished my sweater!! Neat huh?

Except for what you say? That button band is making the sweater all cinchy where it shouldn't? Yup, pretty much. So I ripped the whole band out and than I remembered, I was going to add a little length once I finished the sleeves, so I undid that edge and will continue the rib a little farther and try a swing at that band again. And believe me, there was no amount of blocking that would fix that problem. It is an easy fix and she will be done before I know it!

What have you been working on? :)

Sleeves are done!

And I've already started on the hood (finally!) she's starting to come together! But it's Santa Ana season over here and it's been stupid hot… we've been hosing Watson down a few nights a week in order to cool him off and I finally went out and replaced our broken fan, so it's been hard to sit down and power through like I want too. Still, I'm managing to get a few rows done in the morning before I head off to work to melt!

Hope you're getting work done on your projects too! (And getting some cooler weather unlike us!)

Ps: if you care, I've been posting my progress on Instagram fairly regularly, so feel free to follow me if you want more updates!! :)

Charleston Tea Progress

I've finally gotten around to working on my sweater… only took to almost my 3rd trimester! (To be fair, work has been particularly challenging this summer, which is normally my busy months anyway!

The body is done! 

Here you can see the detail on the back. I'm not entirely convinced that its as long as I want it to be, and is possibly to wide as well. Unfortunately, as it is my first sweater, I'm not comfortable making adjustments until the sleeves are done, at which point I should have a better idea of what I'm looking for.

What do you think? I'm pretty happy so far, but I tend to get sick of big projects after a while, does this happen to you?
