Harry Potter House Cup - wk1

Today I am going to talk about the first day of the spring term in the Harry Potter House Cup (if you want to play along you can find the group on ravelry.com).  Since I took the winter term off I elected to go back as a 7th year.  In week 1 I finished the back and got about half of the front done of my SuperSweater.  The pattern will be posted here when I am done with the sweater.  I will put it up for my size first and when I post I will try to add everything for the different sizes though if I don't have time I will be adding that information in later.  I still have ends to weave in on the back and of course will have a ton of ends to weave in on the front.

Goals for week 2:
Sunday: Finish front of SuperSweater, weave in ends, block back and front.  Do math for sleeves.
Monday: Work on pattern edits, start sleeves.
Tuesday: Work on sleeves.
Wednesday: Finish sleeves, block sleeves, seem shoulders, pick collar stitches.
Thursday: Finish Collar.
Friday: Finish seeming sweater.
Saturday: Finish Waist Coat.

All of these look to be goals that I can easily finish even with working all this week.  Sunday I will get pictures of the sweater finished to upload on to here and on ravelry along with making a pattern post.  My goal is to finish a knitted Super Girl costume before the Space City Con on Memorial Day weekend.  I know that I should have the sweater ready to go and hope to get my skirt and scarf done before that weekend also.  Even if I don't get all three things this month there is another con in June that I will have it done for.
Well I am off to do some knitting before it get to the time for my walk this afternoon.  I am trying to get 10,000+ steps every weekend.
