My First Sweater

One of the problems with being a textile artist is that your art tips over into the craft category. I bought a flatbed knitting machine a couple of years ago and finally made a sweater on it. I was so committed to the sweater that I have been avoiding starting anything new. I thought it could be completed over Christmas break and maybe it could have if I didn't run out of yarn. This was one time that an emergency trip to Michaels couldn't be made :-D I decided to take my time to learn and make mistakes anyway.

Could artier sweaters be in my future? I think so! A few more adjustments and it will fit hubs perfectly.

You can follow along on my sweater journey on Twitter!

Spent some quality time w my knitting machine, hoping to make hubs a sweater. It takes one 474yard ball to make the back, so I'm in standby mode until more yarn arrives from @MaryMaximUS
Hubs was surprised we couldn't zip over to Michael's this time :D#wipWednesday #knitting pic.twitter.com/UfRMQKvVuK
