One Of Those Days
Today was a bad news kind of a day. Thank goodness it was also a Friday.
Bad days for me usually have me reaching for my knitting….it has been so long since I knit things other than robot hats I had totally forgotten what was on my needles! It turns out that I needed to go to the yarn store to get the needed yardage to finish a cute baby sweater that I have been working on. Of course, while I was there I picked up some new goodies!
I knit into the wee hours of the morning and here is the finished sweater–or almost finished–I still need to find the perfect buttons, and maybe embroider something onto the sweater to make the lace detail stand out a bit.
The sweater is my own invention. I’d change things like button hole placement, and edging details for next time. I’d probably also make the sensible choice to knit it top down rather than trying to make a one piece bottom up raglan short sleeved sweater.
I am pleased with the heart shaped lacy bits though! They appear on the right and left front panels and the center of the back. I’ve never knit much lace–the charts confuse me. Maybe simple lace experiments will be in my future.
Here’s hoping tomorrow will be more fun!
