My First Knitalong

I am now back to 2 1/4 inches on the lovely legwarmers.  I just switched to the size 5 needles after 2 inches of K1P1 ribbing.  I had a difficult time figuring out how to decrease in a K1P1 pattern - your pattern gets messed up.  I posted a question on KR, and ended up just using k2tog or p2tog and it worked out just fine.  Now I'm on to stockinette stitch so the decreases won't be an issue.  I should have enough length to try them on tonight so we'll see how they're fitting.

I joined my first Knitalong and I'm excited.  It is a wrap cardigan from Rebecca 29.

I need to decide on a color and order the yarn and needles (it only takes 4 balls of yarn!) I have to finish the legwarmers and probably the superskinny scarf (it's a super quick knit - maybe a day) and I should do the Koigu socks, but I might not be able to wait on the cardigan.  Hmmm, we'll have to see how long the legwarmers take and how anxious I get to start.  I'm excited to have a summer sweater that I'll actually be able to wear to work.  What color do you think?  I'm thinking a pink or maybe even this green would be nice.

I got lots of good ideas from my pals at HGTV and comments here for paint colors for my bedroom.  I'll be working on deciding in the next couple of weeks.  I'll keep you posted of my progress.

Have a great day!
