I am done working for the year. Or should I say, working at my place of employment. Done done done. It feels great. Now, to get the house in order for the holidays.
But, before I work on the house, I figured I’d finish casting off the body of the Funky Grandpa sweater. To be honest, I want to start the sleeves of this one before I get to the sleeves on the Grandpa Cardigan. Believe it or not, new techniques totally worry me, despite having knit for ages and ages now. And so if I am going to mess up a sleeve, let it be a regular sleeve rather than a sleeve with cables on it!
I thought I would lengthen this, but in the end I followed the pattern exactly. The writer was so specific about placement of strips and so on that I thought maybe I should just imagine she knows better than I do and go with it. We’ll see!
I must say, we’ve had dreary rainy weather here, and no snow. The brightness of this knit is very welcome these days!
First off yay for time off (and color me more than a little jealous.) Secondly way to go on the cardigan it looks awesome! The colors remind me of summer.
