It isn't easy for me to not be busy with some knitting project. My hands just get itching to do something. I decided that it would be a good time to practice a really hard project with some difficult cable patterning in it. I found a sweater pattern that I really like. I have never made anything for myself, so I thought this might be a good time to do it. I started to work on the sweater last Saturday evening, and I just completed the back of it today, Thursday afternoon. I am very pleased with the outcome so far. It has been a challenge. I have had to take some of it out a few times to fix some mistakes, and that is tedious and frustrating. I need to reverse my stitches, one at a time, so that I do not lose the pattern. There are four different panels of patterning, with different numbers of rows for repetition. It gets confusing to keep track of where I am in each panel, but I finally have a feel for it, and it is running quite smoothly.
