M came with me and I got buttons and yarn and just enjoyed the whole process of picking out the yarn. I already had the pattern picked out, the needles at home and fingers itching to start working with yarn. The pattern is more of a cardigan than a full sweater but I am excited to start it nevertheless. The color I chose is a close grey color with a bit of warmth to it. Last night I was able to work the starting rib and work the next row of the actual pattern.
I am still working on a wool blanket that I am trying to play catch up with. It is thin yarn with small needles and lots of stitches. Or in other words, it is taking me a really long time. I started it with the intention of doing a row a day. Now I am playing catch up because I started it last year and do not even have half the amount of rows I should have by now. It is okay though because I do enjoy knitting it. It is my bed time knit that helps me calm myself into sleep. Super easy basket weave stitch that helps me mindlessly drift into relaxation.
I am still working on the dish clothes. I made one that was perfect. The second one has a defect row and then the first one the ball of yarn ran out of just near finishing. Wanted to them to be the first thing in the shop but I want to have a least a pair that are perfect and beautiful before I post them. I will keep you updated on them. They are a beautiful linen stitch that is super thick and luxurious.
It has been a week of knitting delights. Enjoy the pictures below.
