This blog is supposed to be somewhat about knitting. I finally finished the front of my summer sweater. I already picked out my next sweater, a cardigan that I really like, but I don’t much wear cardigans so I decided to make it for my mom for Christmas. It may snow in August since I am a perennial late Christmas shopper. She wears a lot of cardigans and I think she will really like it. My only problem is the perennial one of getting excited about my next possible project before I finish the current one, which leads to MANY unfinished projects. I promised myself that after I finish the front and back and am well started on the sleeves I would allow myself buy yarn for the Christmas sweater. Here is a picture of the front of my summer sweater and I think you can see the design pretty well. It is cotton, which I usually don’t much like working with, but this knits up like a dream and is very soft and luxurious and of course the color is luscious.
On another knitting note: Yesterday morning (at 6 a.m.) I saw the end of an episode of Knitty Gritty and they were knitting a Mobius scarf. I have been trying to get that pattern for free for ages. I downloaded the pattern from the website, however, I only saw the end of the episode and the directions for the cast on are kinda complicated. One of BG’s favorite resourses is You Tube so I did a search on You Tube and I got a little video that very clearly shows how to do the Mobius Cast on.
Ok, I am not sure how to copy a link to this blog, so just go to You Tube and put Mobius cast on in the search box. I have two skeins of mohair that just cry out for the Mobius treatment.
