New project - Alec XL

A week ago I cast on an Alec XL jumper for Mr Soaring Sheep. As you can see, I'm motoring through it!

I've got a few more hip decreases to do but after that it's just plain stockinette. I'm making the large size with about 4 inches of positive ease. Just before I separated the sleeves it felt like each round was taking forever!

Mr Soaring Sheep is very excited, he's not had a hand knitted jumper since he was a child :-)

  1. That is going to turn out great. I've seen photos of this pattern before and really like it. That's one lucky husband.

  3. This is such a special project. You are a loving wife! I can't imagine knitting an XL jumper for my husband. I'd go bonkers worth all that body to get through.
