Summer Sweater.
Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 3:26PM First came the pattern, Narragansett by the talented Thea at BabyCocktails. Then a sweater kit of the yummiest yarn from The Plucky Knitter...
...mix in a fun KAL (knit-along) over at luvinthemommyhood...
...and throw it all into a favorite knitting basket to tote around everywhere.
Work on it faithfully, forsaking shawls and socks on your needles...
And what do you get? A new sweater in under two weeks! Here is another in progress shot even though it's finished. It will have to do until I get it blocked and ready for its closeup.
I am seriously in love with this sweater and could not put it down--not to mention it came in handy as something to do during a couple of swim meets. So even though I'm technically done with my sweater, I like being part of the KAL and plan to pick another summer sweater to knit with the group. Perhaps something that will take me more time...thinking a drapey tunic in lace or fingering weight yarn. That oughtta do it.
