Christmas knitting is fast approaching. I have nearly finished one sweater “My Brother the Hero” aka “The Hero Pullover” by Ann Budd from the Fall 2007 Knitscene. It has taken me a while to knit, which is fine, I just wanted it done before October at which point, the Christmas Knitting commences officially. Revenons a nos moutons (returning to our flock) I blocked the sweater yesterday, and today it is lovely and flat. I didn’t stretch the life out of the ribbing, but I did make it so that it was all the right shape.
Today I will seam it and tomorrow I will buy the zipper and install it. Wahoo! done by October!
Also on the needles is Gail or Nightsongs (Ravlery link) by MaweLucky/Jane Araujo, on Ravelry for FREE! I haven’t progressed very far on it since we got back from Ontario, maybe one repeat? The sweater has been the focus.
Then there is the Milkweed (Ravelry link) Sigh… the poor thing has been sitting in my basket since before we left from Ontario. It will be a gift for someone special and will be done by christmas.
Finally, I got the yarn for Justin’s Legwarmers. Beautiful Malibrigo Sock Yarn - Camophlage (actually 851 Turner) I think I am going to do something fun celtic knots to keep things interesting.
There you have it folks, September’s projects! Stay tuned for Christmas Knitting!
