What, again?










I haven't posted for very nearly a year. Oh well, enough of that.








I have been very busy knitting. Did a whole bunch of stuff, but mostly finished a sweater recently, of the Aran variety. I did a typo on that last sentence the first time through. What do you suppose an Arab sweater is?












So here it is. My first sweater.
It's really hard to see the detail so I took some closeups. So here they are. Front and back.















The overall pattern is mine, but the big knot is from Janet Szabo, who has become something of the center of my knitting world in the past few months. One day I suppose I'll grow up and do fair isle sweaters, but for the moment I'm doing cables and more cables.


It's been a year, as I've said, and I have done a lot of knitting, and mostly knitting it seems, in between job and family. I've been to SAFF and Rhinebeck, knitted scarves and hats and mittens and this sweater. A baby blanket or two. Three really, and almost finished with Ann's coat. And a knitting retreat with Varian and the others. I've done a lot but no blogging.

Well, as I said, I have a lot to blog about. But as one who was certainly wiser than I once said, "All in good time."


May the blogging deities assist me.
