Sweater yarn and needles arrived!


Gorgeous navy Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick n Quick yarn ... yay!

I plan to knit my swatch tomorrow to check the gauge. And then I'm off to the races. I hope I can finish this sweater relatively quickly; my actual knitting skills are improving, so I'm going to keep track of how long it takes me to knit this sweater (not counting the gauge swatch).

Honestly, I know this is going to sound a little nuts, but I haven't been so excited about something in a long time. I feel like I'm embarking on a wondrous journey: creating something I can wear.

More posts and some photos to come ... This is a quick webcam photo of what's on my needles right now: a blanket that I intended to make for my niece's baby when she was born last year, which is now going to be a first-birthday present!
