Yarn Along

I’ve finished up the Lady Pearl Sweater, and I’m working hard on the Cozy Morning Sweater.  The Lady Pearl will get written up next week, and then off to the tech editor.  So far that one is actually on schedule to be published next month on time.  Yeah!

The Cozy Morning Sweater has been my most complicated pattern I’ve written to date.  I’m not sure if it  will sell well because of that, but on the other hand, it might just be my favorite design I’ve done thus far.  Maybe there will be others out there who want to do something spectacular.  It’s a bit of a gamble.  I have the body design completed, and the yoke charts completed.  Now I need to work on the sleeves, because the sleeves will be connected to the body and the yoke will be finished circularly all in one piece.  So now I’m working on the charts for the sleeves.  The yoke chart took me way too long, so I’m dreading working on the sleeve charts.  I’m loving knitting this, but there are a few complex parts and so I need to set aside time without interruptions to chart it.  In the mean time, I need to find something simple to knit while I’m just hanging out in the evenings with Knut.  I seem to have this knack for having a lineup of projects needing writing/charting/math attention, and whipping through the stockinette portion of patterns.  I have a babysitter lined up for a morning next week to devote totally to working the math all out.

I’m reading Tom Sawyer in preparation for school next year.  I’m not sure if I’ve read this all the way through before, but I’m reading sections aloud to Knut as they’re just too funny not to share and we’re both just cracking up.  The chapter of the whitewashed fence…oh my.  What a literary treasure.
