Small Needles=Crazy

I haven't been knitting that much this week and I have enjoyed the break. I have been neglecting my household duties and things have been piling up. So it was nice to take a break and get things in order. I had a surprise visit this weekend from my most favorite readers, Kenny and Laura. I love them even though they never leave me comments. They live in a far away land, Oregon. It was so great to see them. They are the kind of friends you can sit down and chat with for hours, and its later that you realize its 3 AM. Anyway, it was great to see them and hopefully we will be chartering a sailboat in the British Isles together soon.

I started a new project this weekend, a baby sweater for one of my pregnant friends. I am planning a very cute set so I thought that maybe I get started. It was only after I started this project that I realize that #3 needles are pretty freakin small. So small in fact that I am starting to fear that by the time I finish this sweater the baby will have out grown it. As usually I am being a bit over dramatic and I am too determined to not finish this sweater.

This is the sweater I am making from Debbie Bliss Quick Baby Knits:
Striped Baby Sweater

Here is my progress, try to contain you excitement:
Baby sweater progress

I am using Rowan Cotton Glace. The set I am planning will also have booties and a hat, hopefully with skulls on it. Because everything looks better with skulls. This yarn was on sale at my yarn store for 50% off so this is one of the few times I am using the yarn that the pattern calls for.

Well my relaxing weekend is almost over, so I will leave you with my usually Sunday night Vito picture.

hey jo--i tried some #3 needles this weekend for the first time, too, and i could not agree more!!! they are SO TINY--i feel like i am going to snap them into pieces. i started those lacy pillow cases in weekend knitting and got about 6 rows done before i had to pull the whole thing out. i am hoping i get used to them eventually, but like you said--i may be old and grey before that happens. in other coments, your puppy is cute as always, and i am glad you had a good and relaxing weekend! so did i for once! :)
