Progress!!

i have been a major picture slacker, so i have no proof of my progress. i will tonight though, i promise!!

thanks to a looong car trip and lots of sitting around chatting with my knitting in my lap, since saturday morning i've cast on and finished the back of the POA/GOF sweater, with a gryffindor 1/2/1 stripe on the bottom, as well as cast on and finished the ribbing + about 2o rows of the front of the sweater. at this rate i very well might be able to finish it for D*C, which i'll be leaving for in 6 days, with another car ride to work on the sweater on! :)

i'm invisioning blocking this thing at the hotel, which will be interesting to say the least. the main sweater color i made a booboo on too that i didn't realize until the back was half done - the color matching i did was way off, and i matched to the COS/SS sweaters :P oh well, i figure i'd like to make another one someday anyways, since these look like great sweaters - i just gift this one to someone else after i've used it for D*C and halloween.

i'm debating wearing my costume to the GOF premiere. my husband gives me terrified looks when i say that. :P hope all your knitting is going swimmingly!!

EDIT: Now, with pictures! :) Click on the thumbnail for the full shot!
