So today was a rather productive knitting day. I finished a sweater that is for a great friend of our family. He has helped us out more than I could have imagined in the last 2 months so I thought he deserved something nice. Not just a card & gift cert to blockbuster or some such lame thing!
I love how it turned out, done in the round with raglan shaping & a roll crew neck. I could not have hoped for better! And it only took me a week and a half (mixed in with all my other crap I am doing). My man is a little lusty after it but he will just have to keep his eyes on his camping sweater. Although I could whip another one of the raglan’s out in no time compared to the camping sweater. I only have the sleeves, hood and assembly left on the camping sweater I just lost all interest. So mean of me, I know! But he may have to start knitting himself if he ever wants it finished! He grew up in Denmark, it’s his natural heritage to knit! I just can’t get him to do it even though he knows how! Whatever!
I also found myself working on the turtleneck scarf/shrug thing out of scarfstyle that I started like 6 months ago. Actually it is closer to 9 months ago that I started that thing! Oh well, tonight it will be complete. I used woolease and I like it because it’s soft & machine washable. Woolease rules! Love it lots, it rocks.
I also sent off my denise needle, it will be replaced & returned to me promptly! I don’t know how I am going to survive for the next little while being short one cord but at least it will stop me from casting on even more projects! I need saving from myself sometimes!
