In knitting news......

I gave the baby sweater to the intended recipient. I made it out of Plymouth Encore yarn, color 1444, otherwise known as brown. See the color swatch here. It's in the 4th row down on that site. But it's not just brown, it has little flecks of blue in it and the brown looks a bit shaded. It's beautiful yarn, soft as anything and the bonus is that it's washable and dryable. And as a parent, I can appreciate that especially! It feels like a super soft wool. It would make any fiber snob proud. If you haven't worked in this yarn, give it a thought. You'll be glad you did. Geez, I sound like I"m getting paid by the Plymouth company, don't I?? The pattern of the sweater was from Knitting PUre and Simple. The last pattern on the page, baby pullover #214. What a fun pattern to do! I did a crew neck instead of a roll neck, and it came out so cute! It made me wish that I had knitted for my kids when they were babies! Alas, the knitting bug did not hit me until much later! sigh... I will be trying more of the knitting pure and simple patterns. They work up fast and easy! In particular, this one. The neck down pullover. # 9724. But then again, I simply love the Turtle neck shell, #212 on the same page. Well, I've certainly got my knitting dreams in order. How about you?

I am currently knitting on the first sleeve on Inishmaan. I am getting excited about finishing this sweater and WILL be wearing it this fall! The cool air that has been ushered into New England for this weekend reminds me that fall is not far off. Inishmaan Lives.

I am extremely frustrated with blog city right now. I still can't post photos. If this doesn't resolve soon, I think I'll have to look around for another server. Dang it. I really don't want to do that! But a blog without photos is a boring blog indeed. Don't you agree??
