I decided BSJ #2 was for for Juliet, my sisters new grand-daughter, plus I would use up the white I had left from BSJ #1.
I made #1 one for Annalise, which I hope fits her. I have not see her since July 4th so we will see.

Back detail, you can see the row of back fullness stitches here
close up Believe it or not I am almost finished with #3. I started it on Friday and last night finished the 90 stitches across and picked up the 34 stitches on either side including the 10+10 extra sts. So tonight I will see how far I can go. Three ridges to the button holes, yeah! I picked out the buttons when I brought the yarn both at Hancock Fabrics.
I should make hats to go with the sweaters but if I don't another pair of socks are going on the needles.
I have never made a pair toe up but may try this time. Check out the last show Cat of Lets Knit2gether did on different ways to cast on toe up. I put the link for contributing for their need to upgrade equipment up on my blog a few months ago with explanation. I did not give much as things are tight but every little bit helps. I know it is not an easy thing to do, the shows they record and edit. I hardly have time to blog and forget about reading my favs. As of this morning I am behind 554 blog entries! I was behind when my Internet went down but a week without it was pure h*ll. By Thursday I hit me. I do all of my bill paying on-line. I am totally cut off w/o the net. I do not receive paper bills anymore, you know doing my part in saving paper, but I may rethink that.
I'll have more pictures this weekend on BSJ #3! Enjoy your day.
