yarn along
Well, blueberry planting was a bust. Rain, rain, and just for kicks, a torrential down pour thrown in. With all that rain, we were mostly inside, which equaled lots of knitting and designing time for me! I finished the sweater I was working on last week, and was able to try it on a kiddo of the same size. Unfortunately, it was about a size and a half too big. That's why I test knit all the sizes, folks. Sometimes the standard measurements don't mean squat. I'm really not happy with the way the picked up edge looked either, so I'm making a few adjustments in the next sweater.
Anyway, I'm loving this color combo of aqua and country red. Of course I ran out of yarn after joining the sleeves, so I dyed more, hoping it would match close enough. I think it's too dark, though, so I'm going to try one more time. The country red is left over from a skein I dyed years ago. Oh, I hope I have enough of that one, too!
What are you knitting this week?

ReplyDeleteMe too, Tonya! I think Mike and I will run up on Sunday to get them planted, rain or shine. The robins are having a feast on all the berries, so it's been fun to watch. :)
