Sleeve Island! I am using a different increase method this time, a M1R and M1L, thanks everyone for your advice. I do like it better, no holes..well I did have 1 and promptly frogged it away. Hoping to finish sleeve 2 this week, block and seam all parts this weekend would be wonderful, then only the button band and neck to do! Still have 22 1/2 more days so I should be good...but I'm not waiting until the last minute.
I found a use for my Burly Spun I got in Seattle! A friend and I are making one (well she's finished hers, heh! and I'll post a picture of us both when we're done)
See, I need this hat as it matches my sweater perfectly and I will have enough for one heck of a bulky scarf! You'll see a few more of these!Hope they don't sit in the closet though..sigh still hot as heck round here!
Hey Cpurl! Heh!! This one's for you!!(what goes around, comes around! ;)
I still have another 2 socks to cast on in the next day or so! Week 4 of the sewing machine saga--and talked with a coworker who knew of a person who waited 3....months...gah!! (she works there and still doesn't get hers done any quicker either!) Long weekend this weekend...yard work if cool outside..what a mess out there!

Hey--are those my socks in there??
I think your hat is going to be super cute! One day we'll all meet up and wear our dorky hats--like a convention!
How cute is that hat going to be! I might have to join in and make one too :)
I have that hat on my list! I was going to swatch for it the other day, but the mag seems to have dissapeared. I think gnomes took it. I love the colors in your yarn!
I love the colour of your hat. Wait a second... I have that magazine. Had. I think I left it at my parents' house...
It's all looking good! I'm sorry about the sewing machine saga. That's no fun at all.
I love the yarn you are knitting that hat with!! :)
That's going to be a cute hat! Doesn't sleeve island feel like it lasts forever?
Those sleeves are looking good! And I love the colors of the burly spun, it's knitting up fab!
Sleeves are really coming along!
Such a cute looking bag for Cpurl!
I hear you on the yard work. we might try to do a little bit ourselves. The grass is no longer green:)
Ooo! Great use for the burly spun. I always wonder what to use the chunky yarn for that won't make me look chunky. But a hat--there's an area I don't mind looking chunky in, my head!
Love that green on the EDC.
I think that hat is going to be great! Can't wait to see it finished.
The sleeves are looking great; love the color!
That's a great hat, I need to make myself a nice bulky hat. I've wanted one for ages, but keep putting it off.
That hat is on my to-do list, too! Great colour for it.
So glad you like the M1R and M1L! Definitely my preferred increase method!
The Burlyspun is gorgeous! It's going to make a very pretty hat.
That's going to be a very cool hat!
