I have a feeling there isn’t going to be an official Yarn Along this week, but that’s because Ginny has had her adorable ‘little’ baby. No wonder people thought my adorable 7lb 11oz Ella was a premie (she was, by 11 minutes).
So here’s my projects, just in case anyone was wondering:
Has anyone heard of the Write a Novel in a Month November challenge? Well apparently there is a Knit a Sweater in a Month challenge too. I was thinking of joining that challenge until I saw the math required. So I might be doing this challenge in an unofficial manner. And so long as you AREN’T COLIN, please follow the link and get the details. The top pile of knitting is a test knit I’m doing for Mary Gildersleeve and I’m not sure if I’m allowed to show it yet. So I’m just letting you see the colour. I’ve had a bit of an issue with the third chart (my fault completely) so I’m took a bit of a sabbatical from it last week.
Right now I’m reading my Knitting Workshop book by Elizabeth Zimmerman. I’m using a pattern from it, but it’s so much fun to read it always sucks me in to sit and read too.
Love cable( aran) knit. I am making myself one right now too.
I love making them for Colin (long arms not withstanding) because that way his sweater is ‘fancy’ (i.e., not boring to knit) but still looks manly.
I used to get my mom to knit my sweaters and sweaters for my kids. Eventually I may have the courage to try a sweater, but right now the task seems too daunting. Your little peek at the detail looks great so far! Have a great day 🙂 Wendy
You should try the February Lady sweater. It’s great. I think I’ve got everyone at knit night to make at least one! It’s raglan so there is no/little seaming -always a bonus. It’s easy and beautiful.
I have heard of the writing challenge but not the knitting one. A sweater in a month would be do-able for me…if it was a BABY sweater! LOL!! Love the detail in the aran knit. 🙂
