Firstly, I promise I’ll be back here soon with an update on the whirlwind that is Our Life. However, I also said I’d post a picture of Haus Meister in the sweater, so here we go, and as a bonus, I’m in it too, for once:
Unfortunately, that looks like it was the only day he’s going to be able to wear it down here until November. 😉 Downside to living in the South; wool knitting is kind of overrated. But so comfy when it gets that cold!
So onto the current knits. After Armas was finished, I did indeed cast on the Evelyn sweater. Because our weather was warming, I didn’t quite know if I felt like more wool (it’s Alafosslopi again, just a different dye lot), but the braided cable caught me and I was enjoying it. It’s on the right in the picture below:
But then! Easter is coming, and the charming dresses I found this weekend for my oldest daughters could use an adorable little shrug, no? Enter the Chloe stage left, now on the needles for Sunshine in Knitpicks Billow. I’m planning a lighter blue color for Princess, mainly because that’s what I have in my stash. 😉 So Evelyn will have to wait on Chloe.
Reading-wise, I finished “The Life Giving Home” and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m rereading parts of it. There’s a lot to think on, but it’s good.
Well, Evelyn shouldn’t have to wait long! Chloe indicates you can whip one up in a weekend! haha
Riiight. If you have nothing else to do and can just sit on your porch and knit away, which I can only DREAM about. 😉 Actually that’s my work from Monday-Wednesday, which is very good for me. On a side, the yarn is pima cotton and SO SOFT. It’s a pleasure to knit.
