My Own Knit-a-Thon!!

1:47 PM
Even though I'm still working on my band for my green shrug, I'm starting my striped dress today. Yep, can't wait! I know I'm getting a late start but today I'm going to do something interesting. I'm going to knit as much as possible and see how much I get done. I will also post my progress today along the way. I saw this post and thought it was interesting to show all the progress in one post. Well all of my progress won't be in one post since I'm already posting, but hopefully most of it will be in one day. Although, I am knitting an ankle length dress. Here you can see I just cast on my waste yarn. I'll be back later today to show you my progress.


I've seen tons of inspiration while waiting for my yarn. This is definitely one of my favorite inspirational pics! I love love love the way this diva paired her maxi-striped dress with a very cute, short leather jacket! I LOVE this look! I need to knit this exact look just before fall. I can see it with half sleeves. Drool.

But for now, I can pair my white/navy dress with a crisp white jacket that I have and rock it like this Anthropologie number. Oh what fun this is turning out to be!


5:39 PM Update!
Ok, so I started out knitting with white and thought I don't want the white hitting the ground! It would be different if it was an all-white dress. But since I have the choice... Between that and the fact that I haven't been in front of the machine exclusively, this is what you get 4 hours later. Kind of disappointing. Let me get back to the machine. I'll keep you updated.

I'm done knitting for the evening. Lots of work and over 400 rows later. I'm done for the day! I was hoping I'd be able to get half of my dress knitted and off of the machine. I could have if I stayed planted at my machine, but I would have gotten nothing else done today. I still feel very good about my progress. I'll get back to it tomorrow. Goodnight!
