CCK Progress? I'm in a Rush.

Why the rush? Because I know exactly what I'm going to use my gifted Patons Cotton DK! It's pattern 12 from the VK Winter 2004/2005 Issue. I couldn't find a picture anywhere on the web, so I took a picture of the one in the magazine. Click here for a big pop-up pic of it. Sorry about the shine on the photo!

I swatched in the Cotton DK and I got gauge for both pattern stitches!! YAAY!! This means that I can knit the exact pattern without any math or alterations, because I really love the look of the pattern as is.

I can't start this awesome jacket yet because I have a 3-sweater-on-the-needles limit, so I have to finish my CCK first. Hence the rush...

Here are a couple of pics so far:

Click to see the awesome wannabe slideshow that I made with the pictures of the sleeve that I took. It's a tribute to Fluffa, but I couldn't figure out how to make it scroll like she does.

I've finished the front and back and crocheted them together, and I did a sleeve to the armpit - I just started on the St st portion.



In the pics, the sleeve is folded over in half, across 2 needles, so that you could see what it looks like next to the body. Almost done! (Not really, but I HAVE to knit that Vogue jacket!)

Tomorrow is Show Your Tattoo Day!

I already took my tattoo pictures, but no peeking until tomorrow's post. I'm excited to see everyones tattoos (and a belly button ring!)!

Anybody else... wish they could knit faster? Me too.
