I think I also talked about these sweaters I knit while in GJ. Here they are finished. It’s too warm to wear them yet.
I made a knit hat from the “Aviatrix” pattern. I used some soft, stretchy yarn from my stash, and didn’t know its weight or brand. Even though I made the 0-3 month size and small needles, it knit up huge! It must be bulkier weight than I guessed. The hat fits me perfectly.
I remade the hat in cashmerino aran for Jack in a manly orangey red. Smaller yarn weight and small needles, so it fits! These photos are from before I blocked it. I still need to get a button. I’ll have to post more photos when it’s cool enough for me to force the finished hat on his head.
Finally, I have a sweater started for myself. I ordered some great yarn from Knit Picks and already knit through the first skein. This photo is from the start – it’s about 4 inches longer than shown here.
I also have my lacy rainbow shawl kicking around, and the argyle sweater for Jack. It’s probably too big for him this winter, so I slowed down my work on it. Plus I have 6 skeins of blue heather yarn I spun on my wheel that needs to be knit into a cardigan. So much to do! Good thing the good TV shows are back on air for me to knit along.
