My knitting and crocheting has been a constant this year, often with miss Cherry Bo by my side while I count rows and track patterns. With autumn a week away (at least on the calendar, since we are gong to hit 80+ degrees this week) I started working on my family’s cold-weather accessories.
Despite my constant feeling that I need more hours in the day to work on my projects, I am pretty happy with the items I have been able to make so far this year.
What was supposed to be a Christmas 2016 present ended up being a January 2017 gift instead when the original was ruined due to being much too over sized and my own frustration – in the end, however, both Steve and I were happy with the results:
This is a very comfortable sweater, in the squishiest yarn ever (Knit Picks City Tweed) and he’s worn it proudly several times.
For myself, I made a sweater by one of my favorite designers – I had bought the yarn at Michaels and the sweater is just lovely to wear, very cozy.
However, I will say that two of my favorite pieces are the sweaters I’ve made for my boys in their beloved green.
I love the fact that living in Wisconsin as we do now, I can make them these sweaters that will actually get worn.
I’ve also made some lighter tops as layering pieces for myself:
as well as various hats, scarves, and mittens.
I’m currently working on a cardigan for myself and have made a couple of winter hats but I’d like to make a few more scarves and hats for the boys and Steve. I usually have three or four projects that I work on at any time, and wish for more hours in the day to finish them!
If you’d like to see all my projects and works in progress, I track them all on Ravelry.
