Too little time

The start of the new semester has really taken off and I simply can't find enough time in the day to do all that I want! The other day when I wanted to relax for a few minutes, I started working on some mittens that I had started a little while back.  I was making up the pattern as I went and after a little while I decided to try them on.  I tried putting them on, and because of my tight knitting and the fact that I was doing a five color zigzag pattern, they were so tight! I got frustrated and decided to take them out.

I wasn't sure what to do next, but then I decided to attempt my first sweater!  My mom got all of the materials ready for me two Christmases ago, so I think it is about time.  This project is a big undertaking for me, but I was sure to make a gauge (since my knitting is always too tight), and now I am on my way to finishing my first sweater!

I realized that I never posted my most recent project.  They were simple striped mittens and the pattern can be found here.

They are also for sale in my Etsy shop.  Other items are still listed there! Please check them out and pass the word along!

It is now time for some pre-bedtime knitting after a long weekend of woodsmen competition and homework! I'll keep you posted on my sweater progress and feel free to comment/contact me for any questions or information!

Thanks for reading!
