Work in Progress Wednesday and First day of the TKGA show!

I am so excited to be in Greensboro for the TKGA Knit and Crochet show.  I went to a show for a day or so about 8 years ago so this is a real treat to be here for five days!  Today is Masters Day where many people who are working on the various levels of their Masters get together for some classes and also feedback on their projects.  I'm also taking a class tonight on couture techniques for knitting.  Can't wait!

Packing for this was an event.  I have taken less luggage for a two week cruise.  But with all of that I didn't bring my camera.  So with a camera phone, at 6 am with bad hotel lighting, here is what I'm working on.
These are the sleeves for my Aran sweater.  I frogged what I had and added another cable on each side of the twists framing the Saxon Braid.  Trying to work this and write the pattern at the same time.  I'd be much further along just winging it and knitting but then I'd never be able to recreate it.

Have a great day - go check out Tami's to see lots of great projects.  I'll catch up with everyone later in the week.

  10. Pretty good photo for a camera phone! Looks like it's going to be a very striking sweater. I know what you mean about writing things down slowing you down - I can't be bothered to even write down my mods. Heaven help me if I put the project aside and come back to it weeks later!
