WIP
A little of this . . .
And stitches cast on for my first sweater for myself (the Shalom cardigan).
Ben’s World’s Warmest Hat is halfway done (he tried mine on and had to have one of his own), and Ella’s Provence sweater got finished before all the snow melted – hooray! One note: this pattern was quick and simple, except there aren’t really instructions for how to piece it together – I used the mattress stitch and piecing instructions from Knit One For Baby by Melanie Falick.
Some of the stitching didn’t come out quite perfect (note to self – don’t use a chart and try to talk at the same time.) But it’s still pretty sweet, and I think it’ll fit my little bean even next fall.
Wow, when I put it all together that seems like a lot of crafting. How fun. What are you working on today?
Ooh, the Shalom cardigan looks gorgeous. You are so incredibly industrious. I wish I could say I accomplished something tangible recently but I did not; I spent all last evening cleaning the house like mad in preparation for a house showing today. This is only what, the 20th time? 25th time? Stupid futile cleaning.
Oh my – hugs to you! And cleaning is tangible, even though it seems to evaporate so quickly.
The sweater is adorable!
Thank you!!
What a wonderful sweater!!
Thank you!
