This is an image rich post! The first is the book I’ll be using and the color choices I have at hand. Now a close up of that swatch. Images include my inspiration, the colors I had to choose from, and the first few sit down sessions… what resulted. The …
I finished. Here is the proof. (Okay, it needs strings darned in.) Since it won’t fit him it will go into a pile of ‘really finish it’ later items.
I went out with a girlfriend on Sunday… Very cool. I think I knit for about twenty minutes… mostly we gabbed. This is after one or two minutes… “Oh! I forgot…” then I needed to explain to girlfriend what I was doing. Hey, it’s been about a month. I almost …
I found the inspiration sweater! Yay! That meant I could finish the bottom and start on the sleeves. Strangely enough, even though these are larger needles, a loftier yarn, and I have more stitches on the body… it’s coming out about the same size. Hmmm… Guess he’ll wear it in …
You know I’m working off of an inspiration sweater for this project. Here is that sweater. Since I COULD NOT find it… I needed to spend my 20 minutes knitting doing something else (preferably knitting). This is what I found… a sweater I had forgotten about. Nope, it’s not going …

11/27 Eco Duo size 9 needle Other than setting up Instagram (which I have only used once), I have wasted the rest of today’s knitting time looking for the pattern name of the small sweater, one of Aedan’s firsts, that has inspired me to make a larger sweater. Yes. Twenty …
So, I think that was almost twenty more minutes! Gasp. Onto the knitting. Aedan is well and truly asleep. I will transfer him to the crib, plug in this computer and see about swatching for this sweater I have in mind. Trust me, you’ll see photos and/or drawings.
