I went to MN a few weeks ago and went into one of my favourite knitting shops called The Yarnery. I saw this sweater and it looked simple enough and quick to knit, so I went ahead and bought the yarn and the pattern:
After I finished this sweater (which I love), I was inspired to finish another sweater that I started last year:
This one didn't turn out quite so well. It looks great when I'm not wearing it! Since I finished it, I have tried altering it a bit and it is fitting much better... although not my favourite. To top it off, since washing it it continually smells like a wet sheep and sheds. But it's very warm!
We took a very quick trip to Calgary for fall break to see my family and I knit these cute slippers on the plane ride there and felted them while in Calgary. I love these, especially since I was able to use leftover yarn and buttons I found in my mom's house.
Okay... so maybe I am addicted. But the green seater and these slippers did not take that long... and the cable sweater I started a long time ago! I know, excuses, excuses. I suppose this is a productive way to procrastinate!
Oh my goodness! Darling!
ReplyDeleteI need you to come finish my sweater that I've been working on for AGES! I'm at such a boring part (the back) and my fingers grow sore after just a couple rows...
I love the green one...
Fancy knitting, Katie!! :-) Beautiful work! Have you discovered ravelry.com? If not, brace yourself for all things creative and yarn related...I've lost a few hours on that site....
