Just keep knitting, Just keep knitting
Not much going on here right now. I’ve been knitting away on my FLAK. It looks about the same as the last post, only it’s about 6 or 7 inches longer. I’ve probably got 2 inches or so to go before I start the bottom ribbing. Once that is done, I just need to knit the ribbing on the neckline and it is finished.
The body was slow going for a LONG time. I was kind of in a slump about the whole project, it just didn’t seem to be getting anywhere. Then it just sort of clicked. I’ve got the pattern down. I barely even have to look at it to knit, and it seems to just be flying by on the needles. I’m actually kind of sad that this project is coming to an end. The other sweaters I’ve knit have all been baby or toddler sized. By the time I approached the end of those projects, I was so sick of working on them, I couldn’t wait for them to be over.
I find that with this project, it is as fun and exciting right now as it was when I first started. Perhaps more so now that I’ve got the whole thing figured out. I’m not trying to make some progress, and still getting a feel for the process.
I definitely feel connection to this project. It has been such a long time in knitting that it is kind of like an old friend. I’ll be glad that it is done, since I’ll be able to wear and enjoy it. At the same time, it will be sad that I’m no longer working on it.
I’m sure that will only last until I cast on my next project.
