A Little Bit of Sunshine
I went on a whirlwind weekend vacation to Florida this past weekend. Three full days, three nights, and a late night arrival back in Maine makes for a tired Monday morning. How wonderful to feel warm sunshine on my face in the middle of winter! I was going to take pics of my WIPs before I left so I could see before and after pictures, but the camera was out of batteries, had to recharge and no time to recharge them. So here are the pics after return.
Made some progress on the Timmy sweater. Back and front complete. Love the one big cable.
I would have done more, but I didn't read ahead in the pattern (a problem I seem to have) so I was unaware that the sleeves are knit from the shoulders down and I didn't have a needle to stitch the shoulders together.
Also made some progress on the Howie sweater. I'll post pattern and yarn detail later.
This is the front:
And a closeup:
Howie calls it "The Afghan" because it is so wide, especially compared to the kid-size sweaters I have been knitting. And it is quite warm while I'm knitting. The back is done, working on the front. I've been working on this for months, keep putting it down when other time-sensitive knitting creeps up. I picked up the pattern while in Newfoundland a couple of years ago and have already knit one for my nephew. Howie saw that one and decided he had to have one. Soon he will!
