I’m within an hour or two of finishing my sweater. Ive got about 3/4 of an inch to knit on the neckline. Then I just need to weave in the ends and wash. That’s it. I could have finished tonight.
However, I didn’t work on it at all today. I have an adorable 3 year old, well 3 1/2 year old. She’s been asking me for a sweater. Every time there is a new project cast on in our house, she asks, “is it for me?” Yesterday we went on the 2008 Shop Hop in our area. Every store we went in to, we looked for yarn for Gwen’s sweater.
The store clerk would ask, “Are you looking for something in particular?” Invariably, when we asked Gwen, she said, “Pink!” So we found some nice pink varigated yarn (Berroco Peruvia Colors). We need 3 hanks, and they had exactly 3 hanks.
This morning, she helped me wind it into balls, so I could get started on it. While we were winding it, she asked me who made it. I said a company called Berroco. She immediately said, “Bama”. That’s my girl!
So I cast on a top-down, raglan, in-the-round sweater for her. It’s going quite fast, especially compared to the cabled concoction I’m knitting for myself. She’ll love it.
