Christmas morning:
Well as you can see from the picture the sweater for DS2 was huge. He was really sad. Looks like I am re-knitting it.
Sweater for DS1 wasn't quite done. I almost made it. The first one took me 10 days. I just ran out of time. He got a gift bag with both sleeves, a back and one side done with an IOU to finish.
I have been working on DS2's sweater every available moment and it is done. It looks really nice. Only problem is it is huge. I pulled a total beginner mistake. I didn't take time to check the gauge. I was anxious to start for one reason. The other is it honestly didn't occur to me. I have knitted on sport weight so long I assumed it was the same. Totally spaced the fact that it was a different brand of yarn and might have a different gauge.
I am just going to have to see how it looks on him Christmas morning. If it is a little baggy it might be okay, if not I guess I will be re-knitting.
Went to see a friend tonight. She gave me this decorated box of thin mints. It was so cute and such a simple idea. I'm going to take it to work to sit on my desk as a decoration.
I got the yarn for my boys sweaters today. So excited. Starting DS2 sweater tonight
One of the pleasures of buying yarn in person is being able to touch it and see how it feels and drapes. I was worried about buying it online for this reason. I have to say that I am really pleased with the way it feels. It is so soft. Excited to work with it.
