Lory's unfinished knitting projects

Thought you might like to see what else I'm working on.

This is a sweater I knit for Michael's birthday in APRIL...he wanted to add a zipper and put felt over the shoulders but he still hasn't done it! He is so picky about his clothes I was going to let him do it so he could have it just the way he wanted. Anyway, I will have to try to finish it myself. Maybe for the next birthday!

Yarn: KnitPicks alpaca and I think Takhi tweed, held together. We bought the tweed yarn on our honeymoon (as you can tell we are quite the procrastinators when it comes to knitting projects).

This is a sweater I started for myself, made from yarn unravelled from a rummage sale sweater (that's how I know what a pain it is to do!) As you can see, it's from the top down. This was my experiment with doing set-in sleeves in one piece. I think it turned out OK. I love to knit from the top down. You can try on the sweater and even change the pattern as you go along, and when you're finished with the knitting the sweater is done -- no sewing!




This is supposed to be a pair of overalls for Brendan. The orange part is to go around his torso (I knit from the top down, of course!). Now I'm on the part to go over his bottom and soon will get to the legs. I'll add on straps to the top first.

The yarn is leftover from Michael's sweater. It will be very cozy if I ever finish it!
