FO sneak peak.

I know I said I'd posts pics of the boys in their Halloween costumes next.  But I have to post process those photos a bit because I foolishly--some would say stubbornly--refused to use a flash.  I can be so ridiculous at times.  Okay, most of the time.  Anyways, I finished my Idlewood a while ago but finally got it blocked and wore it this week.  I even took a photo but it's just my typical self-portrait shot I do when I'm impatient to document a knit.  Again with the ridiculous.

I'll bribe someone to take photos in the daylight next.  Any day should work because I'm never taking off this thing.  As far as I'm concerned, every knitter should knit one.  It is so wearable and ridiculously on trend.  I have a knit night tonight and two of us are wearing our freshly blocked Idlewood's because, and I'm quoting, "we're silly like that."  I think we're lobbying for the entire group to have an Idlewood soon.

I knit the sweater in the Continental style (I usually knit English)...not sure if I'll be making the switch.  But it was good practice for two-handed stranded work.  My tension was very loose, so trying it on and constant tweaking was even more crucial than usual.  The fit on this one turned out spot on, loose and comfy but enough shaping to not hang like a sack.  Here is a sneak peak of that, too.

More soon.  And by that I mean more pics of course.  But also, I'm pretty sure, more Idlewoods in general.
