Wheat Cardigan

 


How are you doing? How are your projects coming along?

I finished the baby sweater on Sunday night. I am so glad this sweater is off the needles. I didn't enjoy knitting this one compared to all the others I've knitted as gifts because the first skein was filled with breaks in one of the three plies. I buried so many threads on one of the sleeves. The second skein was absolutely fine. 

I have some yarn left over for a hat which I will start today, maybe. It's been a busy week helping out with the grandchildren. If not today hopefully tomorrow. 

What are you working on this week?

    What a pain to have those breaks in the yarn... how frustrating! Fortunately, the sweater is adorable and does not reflect any of that frustration!

    The sweater is darling. Just sorry you had to deal with nasty breaking yarn! That is frustrating. I'm working on a shawl and a sock when I have time.

    Unfortunately I don't have a flair for knitting, crocheting or art. This sweater is gorgeous!

    What a sweet little sweater in spite of a skein that required burying ends. The color is so soft. I finished a shawl and continue to work on a pair of socks for my daughter. The first Christmas gift on the needles.

    That is such a beautiful cardigan! The color is perfect. This week all of my projects are in hold since I'm helping to clean out my Nana's house. I'm hoping I'll walk away with some new fabric and a few skeins that I can use for fall projects.

    The sweater turned out beautifully (so sorry about the ugh that the yarn presented). I've spent the week on church stuff (kickoff is this Sunday!) and sewing ?! ...and I'm ready to get back to the comfort of knitting :-)

  Good morning! How are you and how is your crafting coming along? I continue to work feverishly on the christening blanket and am now mulling over how to finish it off without doing all of the remaining charts. I do not have much yarn left with the second skein. I do have a third optional color (similar to the first one) but I'm not sure if I want that and most of all I don't know if 500 yards will give me an additional inch of pattern based on how many inches I obtained with the second skein.  If I could get the blanket to be 36 inches wide and long (it's a square!) I feel that would be enough of a blanket. So my wonderings are: how many add inches in blocking will I get? Definitely one inch per quadrant but would I get two inches? Three inches might be right out! Also, how do I finish it off? I am going to flip through some of my other knitting books for some ideas. Overall, I have loved knitting this and I'm excited to get it off the needles and give it a blocking....

  Good morning lovely people! How are you? How's the weather?  We are having a crazy heat wave and I am so done with it. I got into my car yesterday early evening after it was parked in the sun for 2 1/2 hours. The car registered 97 degrees. Good gracious!! My knitting have been a lot of fun this week. The top photo is yet again another baby sweater , this time for our grandbaby-to-be. You know I love to knit baby sweaters, they knit up so very fast. Below is the small baby blanket that has seen only a few rows added since the last time I took a photo. What have you been working on this week?

  Good morning! How are you?  I should make this post title 'non-knitting news'. I haven't done much of anything for a span of days because I haven't been feeling well. However, the medicine I started on Sunday night is finally working and so I am less miserable. I was knitting last night and that is a sign of health for me. Above is the third cowl of the same pattern but I am only making one project page for the three of them. They will be gifts eventually. The knitting is mindless and somewhat comforting when I am watching a tv show or listening to a podcast.  What are you working on?
