Busy, Busy!

The flower facecloth made it through the wash in great shape! Since my last post, I've been busy with designing and knitting an argyle sweater for my daughter. I decided to use Lion Brand Cotton Ease because she gets hot easily, and has a tendency to throw her clothes into the wash without looking at the care label. This trait is inherited from her father, who has been known to wash leather jackets, among other things! But I digress.... She picked out grey as the main color, with pink diamonds and green lines. This would not have been my first choice, but my daughter would probably not wear the sweater unless she could choose the colors. I completed all the pieces as of last weekend. I used short row shaping for the shoulders, and tried my hand at the three needle bind-off at the shoulders. I have to say that I am VERY pleased with the results! I've knitted up the v-neck band, and will assemble the rest of the sweater this weekend.

Following my usual MO, I've started a new project before the sweater is done: I'm knitting the Berroro Bramble Bag using Love-It instead of the recommended Peruvia because a wool bag is just too darn hot in North Carolina in the summer! I chose to use black and white as the colors, and it's looking fabulous already!
