Girl Who Knits

Well, January is almost over and I have not really posted about knitting all month.  This would only be worse if I hadn't actually been knitting this whole month.  Which I have.  Been knitting that is.  I have my first FO of the year completed and done but waiting for it's intended recipient to come visit me and take some pictures.  That's right, I actually knit for someone other than myself.  Shocking I know but true.  For Christmas I decided to knit a sweater for my little non-knitting sister Bri.  I did not finish in time and due to jet lag I really didn't get much done until the second week of January.  Here is a preview of the finished sweater. 

Bet you can guess what it is...

Once I was finished with my gift knitting I decided before picking my next project, I should finish up a WIP I had on the needles.  Namely, Glee.  I started Glee last fall and got about half way, so I picked it up again and am now almost to the bottom ribbing.

Honestly, I am not sure how this is going to turn out.  It is one of those sweaters that I won't know if I like until I try it on.  The best thing about this sweater is the yarn I am using is a really soft alpaca that I want to pet all day.  It is also really really orange--yam to be exact.  I am crossing my fingers for this one.

I don't know what my next project is going to be but I am trying to make a decision now so I can get the yarn this week.  Maybe the Equestrian Blazer?  Exmoor Jacket? I don't know.  One project I know I want to do is Eunny's Entrelac Socks from the new Spring Interweave.  That woman is my hero.  But that pattern is not out until the end of February.  Seeing bloggers become amazing knit designers is really inspiring to me.  I would love to try my hand at design this year.  But I may not have any talent for it so you might not see it happen.  Either way, I think it is kind of exciting to not know what is going to make up my 2007 project queue. 

So there is the knitting update.  Now I am off to finish Glee...
