Delete me!

I'd like to be taken off this blog as a member. The only way to do this is if the moderator deletes me as a member.
Please do this, I finished Josephine almost a year ago and am trying to clear my Blogger Dashboard.
Thanks!

Josephine Wins

I give up! I can't do it. This chart is so bad that I am not able to overcome it. I have ripped my Josephine for the last time and will not be trying again. I have decided on a different sweater jacket from Knit Simple. This one is called Miss Scarlet, but I prefer Vivian.

I have to double the yarn so I will be a little short, but in the long run I would rather order more yarn than ever look at the Josephine pattern again.

Cast on again!! maybe AGAIN!

Well I started again and did 1 repeat. I htink one of the cables is going the wrong way though. I'm using cascade it's very soft but dont' a very dense fabric kinda thinner then I expected. I may have to break down and purchase more yarn... YUK!! Or maybe rip again and go with a smaller needle like size 8 who knows then I have to redo all the math... errrr I've never had som uch trouble with a pattern before.. maybe I need to concentrate more

Another Josephine complete

Watching Big Fish was just the push I needed to finish my Josephine... and I am in love with this sweater. Like many of you , I used KnitPicks Sierra, and I did and XL size, but used 10 1/2 needles so I would have a tighter guage. I'm so pleased with this knit...even though it was a bit challanging at first with the chart mix-up. Check her out on my blog

So tired! FRUSTRATED!

I finally decided to go with the natural color Casecade Eco wool! Have 2 skeins and the woman is holding another 2 for me in case I need them. I've casted on a couple times then frogged not getting any where so tired of screwing up the rows and once I get cableing they don't match up! Is it me ro what????? Maybe I just need mroe quiet time to start this and full concentration without any distractions! I know it's not difficult!! Whats wrong with me??

Am I alone here?

I'm done!


No one else has posted anything in awhile...are you still working on it? Don't give up!
Later I'll be posting my thoughts on Josephine here

Woo! I finished the back last night! No pictures, because it looks the same as my last, only longer and BO!
My goal is to have it done by Nov 22nd, since it's intended recipient will be in the States for Thanksgiving and I would really save by not sending it to England. That gives me 2 weeks to do a sleeve and 1/2 (the first is 1/2 way done!), both front pieces, sew it together and knit on the collar. The back (the largest piece) took me just over a week, and that was while I was moving, so I think I won't have any trouble doing both front pieces in the next week, giving me one last week to finish the arms and get it all together.
Wish me luck!
