Why is it....that as soon as the weather turns summer-like, I get the urge to knit a sweater?? I can count on it like clockwork....mid-June and BAM! It's sweater-time.
Still working on my Day Zero list...and on it is an item to knit sweaters for my husband and children. I made Sean's at Christmastime.....so as soon as I bind off the "
Up to You" shawl I am going to make one of these two sweaters:
This one is called "Chili Pepper." It's a British pattern so it requires a little tweaking. I bought yarn for this two years ago (Yes, really) that's a really cool twist of black and gray. Very masculine. :)
This one looks small for Will but it comes in sizes from baby to adult. It's a really popular pattern called the Wonderful Wallaby, and it looks kind of like a hooded sweatshirt. Very versatile. The yarn for this has been kickin' in my stash for about a year (no judging!) and it's a charcoal gray wool/acrylic blend. That means that it can go in the washer and dryer, which for kids' garments is a very good thing.
I don't know if I can finish both of these by the fall. But I can try, right?
