Rebecca progress:
All pieces have been knitted and the back has been corrected. Blocking will occur today, seaming will occur ??? The most alarming news about the Rebecca sweater is that I used up the "required" amount of yarn just knitting the pieces. That's without doing the crochet edging on all the pieces. Lucky for me I'm a paranoid knitter and I always buy an extra ball of yarn. No worries here!
Tivoli looms:
I'm happy to be finished knitting the Rebecca sweater because Grumperina is releasing the standardized pattern for Tivoli this week. I have been wanting to knit one of these since Ms. Grumpy first posted her pattern. Humm...maybe I should swatch now so that I can cast on the moment the pattern is posted.

Little Miss Scout looks very happy smelling the flowers - you sure you didn't knit any catnip into that?
And great job, too - it may be a pain to make, but you're showing that sweater who's boss!
Your 24 bobbins really paid off! I'm very impressed -- I got grumpy when I had five this weekend. Twenty-four might just put me off knitting forever.
If you can't face a repeat performance, you could make the back of the sweater the front instead and then turn it into one of those backless shirts that was so popular not long ago. Just knit a few strips an inch or so wide, attach them at the corners, and tie it on!
Yes, I'm kidding.
I think it's so cute that Scout is in lots of your knitting pictures. Is she a little momma's girl?
Your flowers look great. I know it was and will be a lot of work, but the end result will make it all worth while.
I got the Fall Rebecca on Friday. Let me know if you see anything on their website that intrigues you.
My Secret Pal, a blog friend, and I are starting the RR shawl this weekend. Wish us luck!

The bobbins may have tried to drive you crazy, but they sure paid off: it looks great! Scout sees to agree... :-)
The flowers look great! Using the bobbins was a good choice.
