Good Things Come in Sevens!
Look!! A Finished Sweater--OMG I finished something isn't that amazing. It's not blocked yet but I am so happy… my FIRST finished sweater.
And here's Ginger, looking if remotely possible, even more pathetic than usual! Cmon' everybody… all together now… AAAAWWWWWW!
SO I am going to be a joiner… I am joining knit from your stash. The rules are here and I will be in good company as one or two of my favourite bloggers are also doing this so I will have some support. I look forward to seeing what people do with their stash. My exception is going to be yarn for charity knitting.
Now, having gone on a massive yarn buying spree in the weeks leading up to Christmas and for my birthday, I feel like I am cheating because all the yarn for all the projects I have set myself for 2007 is already purchased and in my stash. Plus enough sock yarn for 6 pairs of socks (not including the three pairs I already have on the go).
So here are my New Years Lists: Seven Sevens for 2007.
Here are 7 projects for 2007:
Knit 2 Together Felted House Slippers in Lopi Alfosse: 2 pairs

The sweater looks awesome! I really do love the yarn that you chose - I'm a fan of things varigated :)
Awwww....I'd love to meet you TOO!!!
Wow--congrats on the sweater, it is perfect and looks semi-complicated, was it?
Yes, knit from your stash, do it girl. Watch out, there are so many enablers out there. Many people posted on my blog and told me that 'sock yarn doesn't count as stash'!!!

Congratulations on your first sweater! Ginger is definitely adorable. What a cutie.
Way to go with that sweater! Top-down raglan is the way to go. Love it. Looks like we have some similiar lists for this year too - I did my first Sizzle with MistiAlpaca Pima Silk. #2 will be in Berocco Glace. My Split Neck T is past halfway - great pattern - you'll love it after that gorgeous wrap cardi!
I wanna meet you too! Ginger is so sweet! Your sweater looks really polished. Are you sure it's a first? I'm still trying to make a go on my sweater. I've made a swatch--but I'm so scared to start the sweater. I don't want to mess up.
