Friday was my birthday, so I decided that this weekend, I'd do what I wanted—i.e: no work. Instead of sitting at my computer all weekend, which seems to be a trend… I decided to knit!
Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day here in Austin—80ºF and bright and sunny. I woke, did a little yoga in the bright, hot sun, showered then sat in the sun to get a little knitting done… little did I know it would turn into an all-day thing. Yes, I sat outside and knit ALL DAY. It was great.
The sweater I spoke to you about the other day, which I'm currently calling Wooly Ribs for lack of a better name, is almost finished. Here are some progress pics:
Above is where the sweater was at on Friday afternoon. The yoke was finished, and the body ribs were in their infant stages. If you follow me on Facebook, you may have already seen these updates—as I update on Facebook more frequently than I do here in Mr. Blog.
This is where it was on Sunday afternoon. I have since finished knitting that sleeve, and the other one is almost done—about 50 more rounds to go! Then comes the question of the button band… I originally intended on putting buttons—many of them, close together—all the way down the front. However, when I've been photographing it I seem to only be putting 3 in the yoke section. I'm not entirely sure which I prefer. I think I'll wet block the sweater when I'm finished knitting to see what happens with the ribs before deciding which I'll do.
In somewhat other news… the yarn for the cotton version has arrived, and that yoke is in progress! Yay!
