Knitting Season

Knitting season has begun! As you know, I love knitting all year long, but when it is sunny and beautiful outside, I cannot even think of lazing about knitting. Although, when the days are endless rainy, windy, and grey, I get all pumped up for watching Gone With the Wind and knitting up a cabled wonder. My head is spinning with projects, and I have to force myself to focus on one project at a time. Currently I am knitting a sweater for myself. I've knit this pattern before, but my ex-boyfriend's dog ate one of the bobbles off. I love the pattern so much, and I've even made it easier by knitting it in the round. I loathe seams!

Other projects on the horizon include a plethora of Christmas gifts including a sweater for Jeff. It will be quite an endeavor, because he is a big, tall guy and he is very picky. He wants a classic Norwegian fisherman's sweater. Emphasis on the classic. I am totally up for it, but the last step is the color, because I think I've found the yarn. Jared Flood has helped make knitting something contemporary, all the while maintaining tradition. Love this guy's stuff, and I can't wait to get my hands on that yarn!
