That's the finished back of my jacket in all it's 37" long, 22" wide, and blocking glory. I am in utter shock! This is my fastest knitting performance ever. Watching swimming helps apparently.
The riveting competition keeps my mind off the boring-ness of stockinette and the length of this jacket. Case in point, I only stopped to measure my progress twice today (when knitting this much stockinette, I usually feel compelled to measure oh, I don't know, every inch and a half ;0)
Specs for day two: 21 inches and 3 balls of yarn!!!
Coaching support: hubby made breakfast, took us out for lunch and picked up dinner. Plus he brought the boys outside to play after their naps so I could knit quietly. Oh, he also read library books and put them to bed. And yes, ladies, he is already married to this lucky mom and knitter! How I heart that man ;0)
OMG! You're a knitting speed demon! Way to go!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's not the REAL Olympics! You're a speedo wearing speed knitter!
ReplyDeleteSOOOO FAST! Congrats! I am glad! I love to knit watching games/sports on TV! My best performance was during US Open last year.... !!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that the whole family is in on your project (in their own way)! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYou are kidding! I could never, ever, even imagine knitting that fast. Oh well, imagining, yes, but actually knitting! Phew! Way to go!
ReplyDeletelooking good... i don't think i could ever knit that much stockinette! i can't wait to see the finished coat!!!
ReplyDeleteI can see the smoke coming off those needles! Holy cow you're knitting is fast! Excellent!! :)
ReplyDeleteCan I borrow your husband ;) I'm doing the Ravelympics too but mine not too challenging. Just time-challenging for me. Hope I finish. BTW I just finished the Beary Buddy bag and posted it on my blog. I love how it turned out. Super fun knit and the instructions were perfect.
ReplyDeletedoes your hubby has a brother? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, I didn't know that you have to stretch that piece of cloth. It would be nice if you add a video when you finished your jacket.
ReplyDeleteHello .. I have never seen a smart articles that you created. It really helped me to get back my ideas for writing. I will save this post, for I learn more.
