Well, I almost made my goal for March Madness...
I finished the first sweater for Jack:
Pattern: Weehistoric Cardigan
Yarn: Tosh Sock in Damp
You'll notice that this isn't a cardigan like the pattern. I wasn't thrilled at the idea of getting Jack to stand still for long enough to button up 8 or so buttons, so I made it a pullover instead. This involved doing an intarsia dinosaur in the round, which didn't turn out quite as nice as I had hoped, but this will probably only fit Jack for 5 minutes, so we'll deal with it.
As for my second March Madness sweater, I got the body done, but I didn't get the sleeves started at all before the tournament was over Monday night.
Pattern: Limepop
Yarn: Malabrigo Rios in Bobby Blue
I've gotten quite a bit of the sleeves done since Tuesday, though, and my plan is to finish this sweater as soon as possible, so it's done before the next Knitting Challenge event starts next weekend!
The buttons (of which I only need one) are from the Yarn Crawl last weekend, purchased at Slipt Stitch. I'll post an Yarn Crawl update soon--note, however, that both sweaters above are from yarn purchased during the 2013 Yarn Crawl!
