Busy Knittig

Busy knitting but not posting!

Here are a couple I made this Spring and Summer.

This is a unique purple sweater. It's a double ribbed fishermen's rib and it went along quite quickly. I decided to do a double ribbed pattern because I really liked the way my regular fishermen's rib sweater turned out and wanted to see how it would look doubled.

I LOVE Irish Fishermen's Sweaters and really wanted another. The one I made a few years ago has been a bit small these days, so I gave it to a really good friend whom is smaller than I. I love the intricate cable designs, especially the Hugs and Kisses pattern, although they are all nice and were fun to knit.

Started this one a week ago. It's version of the Honeycomb cable pattern that's fun to make and easy to do. I have the two front panels finished and near half the back. I like cardigans, especially large warm ones. They are so wonderful to cuddle in.

Finally Finished!

And just in time for the chilly willy weather!

I based this cardigan on a red children's pullover, called "Red" from the book Cable Confidence. Been in a cardigan sweater mood, lately. So I looked for a cute sweater to turn into a cardigan. The XOXOs were so cute and I love bobbles. This sweater screamed to be made!

More Progress On The Aran

Still working on the back of this sweater. With all the ripping out and redoing rows, it's taking 100 times longer than any other regular sweater, and hoping it will be worth it in the end.

It's from a really good book; Cable Confidence. I fell in love with the sweater and color, but there wasn't enough of yarn in any color but the one I am working in... but there are always future sweaters and skein colors (even if I dye the yarn myself with Kool Aid!)!

I really enjoy knitting. It is such a good method of distraction and stress reliever. Something about the rhythm of the stitches and the feel of the wool between my fingers. So therapeutic and a positive distraction. Following the charts gives me something else to think about.
