I love knitting, but there are three things about it that I absolutely hate.
1- The cast on--I can't seem to do it quickly! It always seems like it takes me four hours to cast on twenty stitches. HATE HATE HATE
2- The bind off--I mainly dislike this part because I just want it to be over with already. I've reached the "I just want to wear it already stage"
3- The weave in--TEDIOUS!!! That is the word to best describe the tucking in of the loose ends. Sewing seams doesn't seem to take as long as weaving in the loose ends, and that requires a lot more effort.
In any event I've finished the sash part of the sweater. Now I'm working on the back. I also took a break from knitting and finally started crocheting the hats for Grandma and Norli. I finished one last night. Thankfully it only took me two nights to work up the hat. My fam is going to get a nice little box of belated gifts. Since I've only got one project that I'm working on (Kyoto) and a request has been put in my 2nd project is going to be an ipod holder for JDono. This will be fun because I'm going to have to design it on my own!!! It's time to take out the handy dandy notebook and get to work on creating a pattern.
