That's a funny saying, isn't it? Lickety split. It makes me laugh though and it describes how the knitting of my latest sweater went along. In just over a week I knit the whole sweater. Add in a few days for blocking and by today the sweater was ready to wear (and photograph, of course).

This is a very nice, easy to follow pattern. To top off the greatness... it's FREE on Knitty.com. I feel like it came out really well. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole sizing thing finally. I believe this was my best job with getting the thing knit to my size. I had to adjust the length when knitting because I knew this thing would grow when I washed it. In the end, I believe the sweater grew over 3 inches in length so I'm glad I knit it shorter than I wanted it.

What's on the needles now? A vest. It shouldn't take long to do so maybe there will be a new blog post before Turkey Day.

You look so cute in this. The sweater looks wonderful :) You did a great job with the sizing!
*cough* as you visit my blog, is my blog worthy to be added to your "Blogs I visit" section? *cough* ;-)
@Loops, I commented on your blog. You should be happy with what you get. :|
@Jamie, I am, just thought I was special that's all :(
You have gotten speedy, it looks great. I love the diamonds around the neck. I know lickety split means fast, but that's not what it sounds like it means. Wonder where it came from?
@Mom, I don't really know where it came from. At some point someone started using it for perverted means though so maybe I shouldn't have titled my post that. I don't want the wrong element visiting.
