I love this sweater. I found it at the thrift store during a 99 cent sale last year. The colors are so pretty: light gray blending into warm oatmeal. It’s a soft wool acrylic blend that doesn’t need to be hand washed.

I’ll admit it. My first real fair isle project after my retreat last year probably shouldn’t have been using kitchen cotton doubled stranded. The first attempt was incredibly puckered. The second attempt was off gauge and a tight fit, even for my small hand.

I ripped this pic out of one of those “as seen on tv” catalogs. Love the knitting needles with the crochet granny square blanket. Bonus points for working with six yarns at the same time!

I mentioned last week that I started knitting a cowl for myself. A knitting project! For me!

I treated myself to some Malabrigo Silky Merino over the holidays. The pattern is Good Luck Cowl by Drop Stitch Knitter.
