The State of the Knits.

Juliana's February Baby Sweater is coming along.  I had really hoped to have it finished last night, but the kids weren't having it. 

The yarn is Dream in Color Classy in Good Luck Jade (the top two pictures are pretty close to the color).  I'm knitting this on US 8 needles, and the size is coming out to be around 12 months or so.  The sleeves are 3/4 length.  I really wanted a full size sleeve, but trying to get a good idea of when to start the cuff was difficult.  I put the sweater on Juliana to get an idea, but she never stops moving, making it very hard to get a good read on the length of the sleeve.  It works though. 

I'd really like to have this finished by the weekend.  I'm going to try to get the buttons for it tomorrow.  I know what I want so it's just a matter of getting to the yarn shop to buy them.

P.S. Today is October 1, which has marked the beginning of 31 for 21.  I think this year's 31 for 21 is much more laidback (not that it was hardcore or anything before), but I'm going to try to post every day this month.
