It's going to snow tomorrow.

Don't get me wrong, I am really loving my Forecast sweater...but with the tastes of spring weather that we have been getting, I really don't want to finish knitting it.



I just have the right arm to knit and the button bands. I am so close, yet, I just don't want to knit it. I sat down the other night and forced myself to knit the one arm. Sometimes I just have to do that to finish. Here is a close up of the 3 stitch bobble I am making instead of the 5 stitch bobble.



Thankfully it is calling for snow tomorrow...maybe I'll be able to wear it once this year. If I knit the next couple days...I'll be able to wear it this weekend...

    That's the problem, isn't it, knitting woolen things as the seasons change. I hope you'll get a chance to wear Forecast at least once before putting it away until fall. You chose a fantasic yarn and color for showing off the textures of the pattern!

    Beautiful! If you lived here on the coast, you would use the sweater all year around. It can be cool here in the evenings, even in summer!

    I love the color and the 3-stitch bobble, rather than a 5-stitch bobble. You don't want your bobbles to be too bobbly!

    Forecast is looking so good! You can finish it, you're such a quick knitter, it will be done in no time.

    Great color and texture! Once you finish it, there will be a late spring rebound into a winter snow,so you'll get a chance to wear it....

    I feel the total opposite. Spring may be approaching but I have winter sweaters I will be starting soon! I'm a knit "wool anytime of the year" girl!

    good luck finishing it!

    I do that alll the time! Right now I have 2 sweaters that are 95% completed, but I just can't bring myself to finish them! *sigh* and I keep on casting on more new projects!

    THAT BRINGS UP A GREAT IDEA.
    WHY DON'T YOU START A SWEATER AND THEN MAIL IT TO ANOTHER KNITTER. NO WOOL ATTACHED AND LET THAT PERSON CREATE AND MAIL IT TO ANOTHER KNITTER ETC ETC AND SEE WHAT COMES OF IT. I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT FUN TO SEE WHAT THE GROUP OF YOU CREATE. I WILL BE WAITING FOR THE POSTING OF PHOTOS ON THAT.
