The Panic has Subsided

I am no longer in a panic about my sweater. I did a little research and found that Wendy, over at Wendy Knits, has a lot of experience cutting and doing steeks. She also had an interesting button that read, "Stop being Stupid" which made me think that maybe, just maybe, I was in a panic for no good reason. Maybe cutting is really not such a bad thing.

In my class, the word steeks has never been used. Very little terminology of any kind is actually exchanged. I think the class is just a little too informal for me. I hate to say that because I really like the instructor. She's kind, patient, pleasant, and knows so much. Maybe I just attempted this class too soon.

Anyway, I'm going to read through the entire pattern again. I'm going to write out my questions and see if I can get them answered. I only have four classes left. I really wanted to be able to finish or come close to finishing this project by the time the class ended and I still have to do the colourwork pattern and the sleeves, which also have a colourwork pattern.

I made quite a bit of progress last night and I'm almost at the point of which I start the colourwork pattern on the body of the sweater. I'm a little nervous about it but I think I'm just going to dive in and try it! I'll just teach myself, since the next class isn't for a few days and I need to keep moving.

Although I'm no longer in a panic, I'm still slightly nervous.

Since I mentioned Wendy earlier, I'd just like to say that she has knit some tremendous projects. Her site is quite inspiring.
