Sweater Update
Well, I’ve worked my way through one skein of yarn. . . twice.
I get going along on this sweater, lose track and then find that the best way to deal with it is to rip back. Sigh.
Anyway, I’m almost to buttonhole number 2. So, I’m officially further along on this than I have been before. This first picture shows the color of the yarn best. I’m not sure why the second picture is so washed out, but c’est la vie.
The first buttonhole (which was a pain in my butt the first time I did it, the second time was much easier!):
And, just a shot of the yarn itself. Thanks to my friend Jo, who de-stashed and gave me this yarn! Yay!
Despite the little set-back at the beginning, I’m finding this knit pretty fun. It’s a top down cardigan and I think I’ll get to switch to a lace stitch right when I’m ready to tear my eyes out for the garter, so that’s good. It’s been so slow to start that I’m going to start feeling really guilty knitting on this when I *could* be working on Christmas and birthday gifts. For now, I just hope to finish my February Lady Sweater before it’s actually February!
