Good morning, Leslie! We are similar people only my sweater dress is not knitting itself. It's going a lot faster than the alpaca sweater I did on 5s. I'm stash building right now as I try to remain monogamous with the dress. My mind wanders to the next projects though... I'm so glad to see your latest projects.

I like that sweater a lot but I have a lot of other knitting to catch up on before I even consider it. I found the pattern I want to make for Tristan's Christmas sweater (I give each of them a sweater every Christmas) and realized I still hadn't finished last year's!

How do you choose patterns? I usually peruse ravelry, but you've got so many good finds!

i love that color, leslie! i almost bought that yarn in a light apple green while in telluride, but there wasn't enough. it is so soft! that sweater is going to be comfy.

Pretty pretty pretty! A size 10.5 and bulky yarn sounds like my kind of project. Love those quick ones. I'm itching to cast on another project but am holding off till I finish this kicking sack. The coffee would have been traded for a nice cool iced beverage. ;) Stay cool!

Very nice. I love making ice cream sandwiches with super rich chocolate chip cookies. I haven't made them in ages, so I should get on that for next weekend.

Hi leslie! Looks like you are enjoying your last few weeks of summer! Can't wait to see this sweater finished. I knitting a baby sweater at the moment and next will be a sweater for my husband. This should be good. He can't even decide on a color.

Mmm...rusty orange alpaca...that is SO PRETTY. I also try to keep track of when I start and end projects (I am really, really "detail oriented" when it comes to filling out my Ravelry project pages), usually with a note in my planner. It really bugs me when I forget. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! And I can't wait to hear about those ice cream sandwiches!

I too love the Baby Grande Alpaca! Have used it bunches for mitts and scarves but never a sweater! What a luscious indulgence! Where can I get that pattern??

it's going to be so yummy! soak up every moment of backyard goodness! the moments will soon be filled with homework as the start of school approaches us like a freight train!

That sweater is going to be so lovely!

I love the color of your sweater.

Hot knitting! I was trying to spin alpaca in the heat and it all stuck to my hands!

Do you know I JUST started writing down the dates I start something? Seriously. Just LAST night! I kid you not. I think it was a ravelry thing... I feel guilty because I never quite remember when I started something. I'm not sure it's something I actually WANT to do, though, what with my propensity for starting things and then leaving them to marinate in a corner, sometimes for a year or two... That will not look good to the ravelry police, I'm sure.

Thanks for the tip on writing down start/finish dates. I will put that into practice along with noting the yarn used and needle size. Wow, that will be so organized of me since most of the time I can't find my car keys...
Love the color, always enjoy your blog space. Just wish you weren't quite so talented woman, it's frustrating me!!

Love this color....so Autumn....I too sit outside and knit on my patio with coffee...So peaceful.

I want to knit a sweater that practically knits itself... I tried a new pesto making technique yesterday. I'm making more today. It seems we are on the same page. Enjoy your knitting and your pesto.

lovely knitting!
have a wonderful weekend :)

Gorgeous color for your sweater! I've started writing down start dates with Ravelry of course. Before, it was very approximative. Yes, I like to know how much years it took! ;-)

I love the colour of you new knit, really good autumnal colour, sounds like it will be ready in no time. enjoy your weekend

Claire

I love knitting sweaters on big needles (I'm casting one on 10.5 today myself). Your sweater looks so autumnal in that color!!

Lovely sweater!

Pesto is a lovely summer treat.

Hot tea is my afternoon drink, summer and winter.

ok two questions:

how do you pick your next sweater?
and
how do you actually finish so much, do you only knit one project at a time, or have several WIPS going simaltaniously?

Great design and wonderful autumnal colour. looking forward to the finished garment!

I think I would give up altogether if I started writing the dates down - too depressing. Having said that, I am today knitting the last band on a jacket!!!! So far I LOVE it and hope it looks as good on. Will hopefully do a post about it this week.
Love the happy colour you are using!

I love the colour of your sweater. I have only written down start dates for a few projects, maybe because I always have multiple projects on the go and it makes it seem like I take forever to do stuff. wouldn't it be great if there were knitting fairies who could help youout with a few extra rows here and there.

your new sweater is looking great, i love the cable pattern in it

Ice cream sandwiches are a definite cure all against the summer heat. Can't wait to see your finished sweater. I never used to pay attention to the details until I started organizing my Rav page. I like to keep details on how long I spent on my projects too. (More like procrastinate.)

I've got lots of All Stitched Up knitting right now but I'm seriously thinking about the tea leaves cardigan for myself. Our favorite thing here this weekend is just relaxing.

If buying my kids a frisbee will get me some knitting time, I'm off to purchase one! Love that color, it's perfect for heading out of summer into autumn. Enjoy the last weeks of summer.

Did you buy the pattern in a shop? I got onto the link, but didn't see that I could buy it online. I would love to knit this! Beautiful!!

Gorgeous sweater!

Best buttons I've ever found were handmade by knitter / spinner / jewelry maker:

If you don't see buttons, ask. (I'm not connected to this business at all -- I just really loved her buttons!)

Ice cream sammies on a hot day are so nice! Coffee and hot knitting on a hot day! LOVE IT!

Love the shape of your sweater. And that pumpkin color is perfect for fall. I need to go dust off our frisbee - the only problem is keeping the dogs away from the frisbee long enough for the kiddos to have a chance to play!

that is dedication my dear, to your knitting and to coffee!!! it has been too hot for both! mmmmm pesto! mmmmm ice cream sandwiches!

I wish I could knit a sweater in a month. It usually takes me at least 3 months--I'm really slow. Something to aspire to I guess!

Me too, i'm terribly in love with knitwork. It's something I practice since my childhood. Of you are interested in, please visit my blog. I'm happy I've found a friend to knit with !!!!!!
