I knit all night and I want to knit some more!!
Well I finished up the other side of the baby sweater!!!!!! GO ME!!!!!!!! FIRST finished object. I know its not ACTUALLY a finished object but in my mind it is!
I do believe that I did the shoulders wrong. Meaning I put the ribbed shoulder for the buttons on the incorrect side so I must have messed up at the part where it told me to face the RS or the WS. I can't keep it straight. So I have to make sure when I do the front that I re-adjust or make the same mistake again.
I suppose I couldn't get all the way through my first thing without some sort of a mistake but it doesn't ruin the sweater. No one will know but me!
My finger held up okay. I cast on for the sleeve then went back to my sophie bag. I am now picking up the stiches to work in the round. It didn't say to use the DPNS but I used them because it was to hard to see if I was picking them up even it it was pulling to the side. I am not sure I am doing it right but I am having fun.
I keep a cup of ice water near by to dip my finger in ever once in a while. It feels so hot! owey owey!
In other news I found this adorable well written free Fair Isle pattern I may one day attempt:

Congrats congrats! I love that feeling... not that I get it too often. *makes a silly face* Be careful with your finger, eh? Can't wait to see pics!

The Sophie bag is a great little pattern. I used circular needles on the whole thing & never once used dpn's (of course I only have dpn's in sock sizes). Take care of that finger of yours!
