finished. a sweater for the littlest munchkin, made 2 sizes bigger because, well, i’m a slow knitter, he’s a fast grower and because i knew it would be at least a couple of seasons before he wore it. (also, made 2 sizes bigger intentionally this time, as opposed to the usual gauge issues. little victories.)
it was one of those should’ve-been-straightforward projects that seemed to drag. but it is finished, at last. i like the way the neck curls over…
and in the interest of full disclosure…
i messed up a few stitches of the kitchener stitch when i was weaving together the small gap created where the sleeves meet the body. i tried to undo it, but the yarn snagged, and tangled and … so it stays. something to improve upon next time. you know. in the fall, when i next pull out the needles and yarn. i’m a seasonal knitter.
and maybe a seasonal blogger too. for all my whining about winter, i can’t justify being indoors when the weather is so beautiful. i’ll share when the mood hits, as usual. but the friday archive dives will be on hold for the next couple of months. the last one will be this friday. i may start them up again in the fall :-)
so i’m folding up that sweater ’til i see it next in the fall.
for now, it’s summer skirts…
…summer outings, summer reading, slowing down, and just taking it all in.
