and I didn't even realize it!!! I feel like I just posted. The summer has really flown by. I feel like though I was really, really busy I didn't get to do anything for me. I've been busy for 7 out of the the 8 weekends doing family, obligatory stuff. Not that I even mind but I'm exhausted and I haven't accomplished nearly enough for myself. Selfish, huh!?
I'm still working on my Hexacomb Cardi. Before I seamed the shoulders, I tried it on and it was too big so I ripped back a bit and then did a three-needle bind off. Hopefully that helps a bit. Now I'm working on the first sleeve.
I bet it's going to be too big on me...but it's not like anything I knit for myself turns out the way I envisioned it anyway. What a waste of knitting time....I don't get it. My gauge swatch was even a bit on the small side yet the sweater itself is loose. This always happens to me! Well, I'm going to finish it and if it doesn't fit me I will find someone that it does!There's so much that I want to knit and I hate wasting time on pieces that don't fit or look nice on me.

That cardi looks great so far! And a nice classic brown- I'm sure you'll get a lot of wear out of that. I love brown, too!

When I knit this, the bust fit great but the waist was a little too loose and floppy. Silly gauge. Yours is a pretty color!
I seriously can not get myself to knit for myself! I'd rather buy a sweater I know looks cute... rather then spend HOURS making a sweater and then be so sad when it doesn't look divine !!!
