So I had this great idea after seeing this hashtag on Instagram that I would knit a sweater this month. I cast on for my hubbys Christmas sweater and my intention was to finish it before the end of November anyway.
I have knit this
sweater before. Once in baby size and once in my size.
Both times I completed the sweater in under a month. How difficult could this be? It should be a lay down. I should be at the sleeves already according to my plan. But I'm not.
There's one thing I forgot about. The time change. By the time I sit down to knit at night I am falling asleep with the needles in my hands. Work has been crazy with deadlines so I haven't been able to take lunch lately.
I'm still getting it done.

I am still waking at four in the morning :) Love the sweater in a month deal, seems we are of like minds these days :)
I am still having a hard time going off day light savings time too, and this is the one I like! I went to bed last night at 9:30, unheard of for me.
Good luck with the sweater, you can do it!
That's a very cute sweater, and I'm sure you'll finish it on time. I know what you mean about the time change. Add that to the sun going down earlier, too, and I'm falling asleep around 8pm. I think it's something like jet lag. HA!
you still have DAYS and DAYS left (over 50?)...no problems!!!
See? Just another reason to hate the time change!
The time change is playing havoc with me this year as well. I find myself falling asleep in the recliner with my knitting, and waking up earlier too.
I love the yarn you are using for hubby's sweater. Pat won't let me knit him one. :(
Love the yarn you're using. You can finish it!
Love the yarn and colour, everybody seems to be knitting sweaters. I really want to cast on my first ever adult sweater, soon. I have the yarn, I just need to find the perfect pattern, now. Have a good week. Deb x
I'm in awe of those of you taking on that challenge.
