Vivian Sweater

I've decided that I really like knitting with bulky yarns. They knit up so quickly! Being an instant gratification seeking person, bulky yarn allows me to make a larger project and still get some sense of instant gratification. :)

Right now I'm working on a sweater called "Vivian" for myself. I'm already a skein and a half in and loving it. Here are some progress pics:



And here's a picture of what it will hopefully look like when I'm finished:

I still fail at updating this. Oh well.

Here are some knitting projects I've been working on/finished since last posting:


This is a scarf I made for myself. I found some amazing yarn at Lakeside Fibers and figured a scarf would be a good way to use it. LOVES.


I bought myself a kindle (which is amazing, by the way) and decided to make myself a cover for it instead of buying one. It now has lime green buttons on it, but I haven't gotten around to taking new pictures yet.


And finally, I'm making a pair of gloves for my aunt. I finished one and am now taking a break from the complexity of the pattern before I start the second. The only thing is that I definitely need to block it so she can get it over her hand. Sometimes being a tight knitting is NOT a good thing lol.
