in the round sweater update and disaster!

So I got to the underarm part of the body of the jumper whipped out my new short circular needles and cast on for the sleeve, but in the process broke the needle! So Now I have to glue my 3.25mm needle before I can use it *sigh*
Determined to do something I decided to use some left over wool to make a hat for my neighbour (he asked for a grey one, I had grey wool left so thought it was a great way to use it up) So I got almost finished and ran out of wool *sigh* In the process I used the 4mm circular needle which is now out of action until I get out for some more wool. So its still a no go on the sleeves for the jumper. Not sure if Ive posted the link for the hat before but here it is anyway. KOGO Beanie. I used a 4mm needle instead of a 4.5mm and I added extra rows to the straight bit. I made one before and foudn it wasn't long enough and the 2x2 rib was too loose, so this time i used a 1x1 rib and made it longer. the first one I knitted straight, this one was in the round so its a nice pattern to convert between the two.
I must admit knitting in the round scared me quite a bit but I'm absolutely loving it! I would reccoemmend it to anyone and everyone!
So in an attempt to fill my crafting time with something (anything!) I started to crochet a blanket!

So this is as far as Ive got with it. It looks a bit wobbly around the edge but I'm hoping it'll turn out ok. I'm planning to get to about single bed size but my last attempt lasted about cot sized, so we'll see how it goes. Its about big enough to fit on a car seat at the moment.
So far the few people that have seen it have all asked if I'm pregnant and expecting a girl. I am not amused at all! I am not!!! I'm just using up left over wool and I like the way its turning out. There's not much I can do with half a ball of pink wool in this house (having 3 boys) so anyway I can use it up is a blessing. Its actually peach in the middle, lemon, then a speckled mint (purple and blue speckles through the wool) then pink on the outside. I'm running out of pastel colours though so once the pink wool is used up i might have to buy some more for this.
Oh, I better tell you what pattern I used. You can find it here. I chained 10 as the pattern says.
I also saw this pattern and wondered about adding the little flowers, but not sure the boys or husband would appreciate anything quite so girly!
I like granny blankets because you start so small and work until you get fed up (or at least thats what I do) I did see other designs but it meant working back and forth and starting with a rediculous number of chains to start (something like 230+) Knowing me I'd get to about the third row and be fed up already!

Hopefully I will get superglue for the needle, get wool for the hat and also get more wool for the blanket before I run out of everything and have to start something else!

On a completely unrelated note I came across this one facebook and Ive now added it to my to-do list (at least the captain america jumper if nothing else)

I will probably end up using the same jumper pattern (raglan hayfield pattern) and knit in the round.
I'm looking for ideas on knitting a hulk jumper too. I though about doing a torso pattern on the jumper but dont think I'll be able to get the range of shades I'll need. Any ideas are more than welcome!
