One Crazy Fiber Lady

Well the kids are up and i’m supervising their sandbox activity. Seemed like a good time to try the outdoor shot on the Treo and show my progress on Fana’s body. I have finished pattern I and am now into the second stripe on pattern II.

I read ahead in the pattern and much to my dismay, I will need to knit back and forth in two colors to do the neck area. Blech. There’s got to be a way to do it in the round.
I am also not thrilled with how the buttonband placket is knitted and then sewn (?!) to the front edges. Yeah not my favorite. I’ll probably ignore those directions and knit it on instead. No need to be a slave to a pattern, right? Especially when I have committed myself to make a second one of these!

Next to figure out what to make for dinner and if the grandfolks are coming home from the boat early enough to join us.
Craft on!

Edited to remove photo to see if posting will actually submit now. It has been generating errors now for over 12 hours. The gloss is coming off typepad mobile if you ask me.  PS the it worked without the picture.  I’ll have to experiment more.  In the meantime, I need to get the picture off the Treo and onto my desktop.  Oy.  I’ll edit this post when I get it.
