On the brink

After being "almost done" with 3 different sweaters for about a month and a half, I'm really actually almost done.

My February Lady sweater needs only a few buttons sewn on to be called done. I'm feel pretty motivated, so this shouldn't be a problem to get done tonight.

I also have a little baby sweater in progress, but no rush on that. It still needs a hood and a crocheted edge, but again, I'll wait on this piece a little longer.

Lastly, the Checkered Rib sweater that I started for my sister is almost complete...well, the knitting portion is almost done. I have to finish about an inch or two on the second sleeve, plus the button band and the neck line. None of that really worries me, and I'm fully ready to plow right through. However, I didn't listen to my gut on this piece when I first started and pretty much followed the pattern verbatim. I should have made the piece in the round and saved myself a bunch of tedious hand sewing, but I didn't. So, even though the knitting is almost done, I still a little while left on the thing. The seam on the underside of the sleeve has to be done, and then the sleeves have to be sewn to the body. Ugh, hate hand sewing.

Back to work now.
