Knitting News

 

I am so excited that I'm on my second sleeve and over half way on that second sleeve. I had grand plans to finish this sweater on my weekend trip to Cambridge MA but that was lofty and impractical. I've been asked if I knit in the car, the answer is YES but I frequently zone out and daydream or take in the scenery. More often than not, I tell my husband how to drive which annoys him to no end.

I have lofty goals of having this sweater finished by next Wednesday but I know that I am sporadic in my knitting attention these days. Please send all the good finishing vibes if you can.

Below is a photo of the two skeins of yarn I purchased at Mind's Eye Yarns in Cambridge MA and so close to our hotel that we stayed at. I'm thinking his and her matching pair of socks. What a sweet little store that was jammed packed with yarn. I was in heaven.

What are you working on this week?

  3. His and her socks sounds fun. The yarn looks scrumptious. You are so close to the end of the sweater. That fact should spur you on to finish it quickly.

    1. It is a memorized pattern from before Ravelry and I cannot remember where it originally came from!

  8. I'm sending finishing mojo your way. I look forward to seeing your blue sweater finished. I find car knitting is a great way to make progress on a project. His and her socks would be very fun. How wonderful to find a little yarn shop close to your hotel. I love to bring home souvenir yarn.

  11. Love that yarn and your idea for his and her socks is inspired! I'm still not knitting, but I did add a few rows to the prayer shawl I'm crocheting and that feels good!

  12. That yarn looks like it would make a really nice sweater or pair of socks! I want to learn how to do this to help people who are cold in winter.
