Quietish

The first of at least 3 sweaters I plan to make for the cold weather season this year is done.

I had been thinking about my current knitting and decided that I wasn’t going to be excited about what I was doing unless I had a goal. Since sweaters for Jamie, Cian, and Justin were something I definitely wanted to do this year, last week I cast on for the first of them and was much happier for it.

Finished this weekend.

Pattern:
A yoked sweater, with some basic guidelines from the Handy Book.
Yarn:
A hand-spun, hand-dyed, but label-less yarn given to me by a local knitter friend who wasn’t going to use it. Thick and thin with a lot of texture. And purty girly colors.
Comments:
I wasn’t sure how far the yarn would go, so I made this just the right size for Jamie. I would normally make something larger so it would fit longer, but figured I could make a 2nd sweater for her this year if I had enough time.

I’ve already got a start on Cian’s sweater, but left it in knitter-pal Jeanell’s car last night after we went to see OOTP. Well, all of my WIPs were in that bag, but yeah. She’s on her way up here now to kindly bring it to me. I was starting to get twitchy.
