Here is a little sweater I knit for one of my nieces.  I think my photography skills have gotten better since then.

I skipped Saturday so I feel like I have a lot to say but maybe it's just rambling.  I was in a  yarn club and I loved it but I quit it.  Her yarn and fiber are wonderful but I can't knit that fast.  I was in the club since January and only knit one thing from her yarn.  When I can get my stash down a bit I'll join again.  In the drama Good Doctor, Shi On is given a sweater.  It looks so snuggly and warm it makes me want to make one for my husband.  I spent a good chunk of time looking around Ravelry for patterns I think he would like.  I really enjoy starting a project more than finishing it so I have to be careful I don't start too many thing.  I also found a book I want to buy.  It's called Lit Knits and has projects inspired by books like Treasure Island, Alice in Wonderland and The Secret Garden. It looks like it has some really clever designs in it.I played WOW and finally got my Halloween achievement.  I only have "For The Children" left to get the "Long Strange Trip" achievement.  I got the eyes on the spiders, pictures should be coming soon.  Some turned out well some not so much.  I washed the spiders and even in the lingerie bag they got very knotted (I should have taken a picture), so the spiders were crumpled and folded. I tried to flatten them out but some of them still folded after the paint was on. Ok that was a lot of random rambling sorry.

Yesterday was Podcast day.  I listened to "Fiberista Files," "The Fat Squirrel Speaks,"
"Knitabulls" and old episodes of "Knitting Pipeline."  I love listening to Paula of "knitting Pipeline" talk about the nature around her.  It makes me want to buy binoculars and a field guide.  There is a large raptor type bird around here and I assume it's a hawk but I'm not sure what kind.  My daughter is convinced it's a bald eagle but I don't think it's big enough.  I think next year I want to get a bird feeder and see what comes.  We have doves that nest in the bush right outside our windows but there are other bids around that I would love to learn the names of.  I just remembered when my son was younger he wanted to catch a robin and would run straight at them and of course they would fly away.  He was so frustrated and didn't understand that you had to sneak up on them. 

I worked a lot on my sweater, man is that thing getting heavy.   I finished the first leaf pattern so I would assume I am about half way through  the body.  Up until half way through the next leaf it seems straight forward but then it gets complicated.  It assumes you have 10 stitches under the arms and I have more than that so I have to figure out how many to put on holders and things like that.  I am glad I have the interchangeable needles so I can just twist off the tips and put stoppers on.  I would hate to have to but size 17 DPNs.  It is going faster than I though but I'm still cautious.  Right now I'm nervous about the sleeves.  I think it might actually fit but it's hard to tell at this point.  If not someone smaller than me will get a really nice warm sweater. 

Today is Kdrama day.  I'll probably finish  Good Doctor and The Queen of Office today.  If I do then I'll watch Running Man till I decide what to watch next.  I know they are very different but I was kind of thinking of Secret Garden or Shark.  Something else might jump out at me, or I might finish Faith with my husband.  I'll keep working on the monsters too.  I have about 15 but I want to finish them soon so I have time for the faces.  It's an easy pattern as they look like little lumps but it's still probably slower because I'm reading. 

I guess that's it.  I'm going to go do something productive before I sit down with my Kdrama and my monsters.
