No, no, I'm not sick of knitting, literally I WAS sick. I stayed home from work, knit, and healed. With good results too. Not only did I kick my cold, but I finished the major parts of the
Presto Chango baby sweater. Below is a picture of it blocking. All that is left is to sew the front and back together and put on the buttons after it is dry. I think I will make an additional front panel since I have extra yarn left.
The sweater as well as the Kids Fruit Cap were both made for my cousin and his wife's first baby that was recently born. Pictured next to the hat is some of my handspun yarn. I'm doing two thin singles and then will ply them for a lace weight yarn. This is from the roving that Opal sold me. Thanks
Opal!
The hat and sweater went so quick - I got so used to knitting socks, that I forgot how fast it is knitting on bigger needles with larger yarns! Speaking of socks - I did finish one whole sock and most of the 2nd one. I put them aside while I was working on the baby stuff. On the 2nd sock I only have the length of the foot and toe left to do... so maybe in about 2 weeks they will be done (I'm a slow knitter and don't knit for that long when I do start).
Last, but not least I wanted to show some fiber yumminess! I had a gift card, so I bought some roving with it... I'm so in love with the colors. All fibers were bought on Etsy.
