February 1, 2010

Getting goal oriented, I am personally declaring February to be DomiKNITrix WIP to FO month! Resolutionistas might delcare me late to the party, but in my defense, January was packed with two major telecom systems installations, so I wrote off the whole month and feel like 2010 just got started!

Doppler pullover - I'm reknitting the sleeves on this, the protoype, which had a funky bulge in the sleeves.

I counted up SIX knitting projects currently on my needles with the potential to be completed this month. These are fun, exciting projects that I am dying to wear! Not a hat or scarf in the bunch: two women's tops, two women's sweaters, and a dress.

What might excite you even more is that there are TWO PATTERNS even closer to being complete than any of the sweaters. I refer, of course, to the Doppler at right, and the Ship Shape jacket, below, in multiple sizes.

So I am declaring my knitting goals for February, here for all to see: TWO patterns and at least TWO FO's. One good thing about having so many concurrent projects is that my fickle mood allows me to flit from one to another happily whenever one bores me. I reserve the heavy project for at home on the couch, and the light ones for public transit knitting. Let's just see how much I can accomplish in four short weeks.

Ship Shape jacket

This is my newest design: the Ship Shape jacket. The pattern to knit this jacket will be available shortly.
Slipped stitch edges and ridges highlighting faux seams accentuate a shapely form.
A dramatic collar balances the fitted shoulder.
Tailored details in the back.
Buttoned all the way up and toasty warm.
Navy peacoat buttons complete the nautical look here, or choose an altogether different button for a more dramatic effect.
The slip stitch ridge on the sleeve continues into a simple saddle shoulder.
I've never worn a double-breasted jacket before that looked as good open as closed. This one does!
