I've cast on a new project after finishing my shawl. It's a sweater for my eldest boy using the Little Spare Time pattern. I showed him lots of different patterns but this one caught his eye because of the cosy collar.
Aside from the collar detail it's a pretty straight forward raglan sweater. I am going to do pockets as he likes to keep his hands warm so I'm just knitting until I get to the right length at the moment. Good for working on when I'm tired and not able to concentrate much.
Mr Soaring Sheep has requested a cardigan after I showed him this pattern on ravelry. Isn't it gorgeous? He even wants it in the same pinky purple colour. I think I'll wait a while before casting it on though, I expect with having a new puppy arriving on Saturday, driving lessons and tennis lessons my mind is going to be a bit busy for concentrating on all those cables lol.
Have a good week everyone, Keep Calm Craft On
What a beautiful color! I am slightly obsessed with top-down raglan construction right now. Can't believe it took me so long to get to it!
ReplyDeleteI admire a man who isn't afraid to wear a pinky-purple sweater!
ReplyDeleteSadly, when my kids went off to college, I discovered that I was the messy one!
The pattern on Ravelry looks great xxxx Well done with your driving lessons, keep going.
ReplyDeleteOoh, you have lovely jumpers mentioned here. You are such a terrific mum. It takes a real man to be able to wear that color; your husband rocks. And yay on the success of your first, driving lesson. I learned later in life too, right before 30 since I had all these teacher manuals to lug about and had moved across town.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater your son choose looks super cosy looking, and that cardigan for your husband is awesome. I love that your husband will wear such fun colors. Good luck in your driving lessons!
ReplyDeleteI can see why he chose that pattern< I love the collar too! Can't wait to see more puppy pics!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the driving lessons - I've been driving ten years and there are still days when I find it scary. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for learning to drive - you will get there, just keep going. Love the sweater and the cardigan.
ReplyDeletego you and the driving! I assume everyone drives because here everyone does. However my daughter who does have a driver's license does not drive...oh well. Good luck and don't worry about the other drivers, it's a lesson in patience. Everyone was a beginner once. Love your new knit!!
