I knit on a sweater all winter. I challenged myself to knit another Aran Staghorn sweater. I started in November and knit and knit and knit. I didn't "love" the sweater, but I knit just the same....it took forever. Maybe I should name it the "Forever Sweater". I finally finished last week and it is pinned down to my mother's spare bedroom floor as we speak. I am not sure why I wasn't loving it. It will be warm and I can wear it out and about when I take walks and such. I think I was wanting a cardigan. I will share a picture soon.
As I was finishing the sweater on worsted weight and size 8 needles, I longed for a small needle project. As soon as I finished I cast on for the two at at time socks on size 1. A big difference. I bought this yarn at a fiber festival in southern Indiana last fall. It is brighter and prettier in person. It is a little happiness on a stick.
Also, I get to go spin more of the Polwarth wool tomorrow.....looking forward to it very much.
I think it is very pretty yard. I am looking forward to seeing it finished.
