This seems to be a time for firsts. First design, and now an almost finished first sweater. I can't believe I   have not blogged the progress of this prior to this post! I started it some time back, and am using the Xylem pattern.

I will post more photos and the stats once I get it finished - it's still missing finishing around the neck, and serious blocking for the hem.

It's actually black, just looks purplish here! 

Even though this posting is called Knitting, it is a book review. The title of the book just happens to be Knitting . It's written by Anne Bartlett, and is her first novel. One can notice that when reading the book.

The idea or more accurately the need for this fingerless glove came from Nick, who needed something to replace a mouse mat with. Behold - a design!

Let me present the Infringing Mitt (formerly known as something else - see the comments about the name change (and quite rude corporate pressure.

Note: I offer this mitten pattern for no fee for your own personal use - you may not sell this pattern or the mitts you knit using it (ask me about charity).

Please if you like this pattern do concider taking a look at the products I advertise here on my website and use my links for your Amazon & co purchases - it earns me a small fee to be able to cover the costs of running this blog!

Now, I'm not sure if this is really called freeform what I'm doing (see Prudence Mapstone's explanation and beautiful work for more experienced view of freeform) but I'll just go ahead and call it that.

I've started a blanket. I started knitting by a square, and then another from it, then picked up some stitches and knit some more. I also attached a piece of tunisian crochet I had ready, and knit some more. It's so much fun!
