It's been a little while since I updated you on my knitting progress, so what the heck! This weekend I finished up a quick little project - a Seamless Yoked Baby Sweater. This could have been a quick knit, but I started it, put it down, got busy with my redecorating, then finished it up. I still need to wash it and sew on the buttons, but I'm calling it finished. It's 100% cotton and so soft. I really love the yarn. In fact, I loved it so much I bought more to make Ava a sweater from it. And it's not expensive yarn either, it's that Hobby Lobby "I love this yard" brand. This sweater is supposed to fit 0-6 months, but it looks huge to me. Maybe after a wash and run through the dryer it will fit a little better.
Once I finished that, as tempted as I was to cast on a new project, I looked around at all the unfinished works-in-progress I had and decided to work on one of those instead. My goodness, I have a lot of WIP's - right off the top of my head I can think of 5, not including this one. Okay, no more new knitting projects until I finish what I've started! Well, maybe not finish everything, but at least a few.
This sweater is based on the Deep Breath sweater I finished a few months ago. It will be a v-neck elbow length sweater. I'm using Elann Esprit in French Navy. Interesting yarn. It has elastic in it, so it's stretchy. I think this weight will be great for my climate. I should be able to wear this sweater all year long. Yes, the continuous stockinette stitch is somewhat boring, but it's perfect for tv viewing and decompressing. When I knit, my mind wanders. I don't think I'll ever be able to do something that requires too much concentration.
As I was photographing this sweater, I noticed something strange. Do you see that dark spot? Crap! I think it'll come out. Wouldn't you know that this is smack dab in the middle of my right boob? Just my luck! Now I'm off to find my tide-to-go pen,,,
