On Saturday August 16, 2008 My father passed away after his battle with cancer. His obituary can be read here. This has been a very sad time for my family and me. I just can’t even organize it into to words just yet.
Deep breath, I am going to continue to blog once again. I know I have promised it before, but I actually have allowed knitting to once again become a part of my life. I have a FO! It’s a bit past my goal but I finished it.
I really love this sweater alot! It feels so comfy. I knit it out of Cascade 220 and Rowan Tapestry. I used a 32″ size 9 Circular needle, and size 9 DPNs. It really was a quick easy going knit. I had a little bit of trouble picking up the pouch stiches, but Cindy from Yellow Dog helped me through it.
I am currently working on Thermal from Knitty. I have one and a half sleeves completed. I am in love with this sweater. The waffle stitch is very easy to memorize and the Knitpicks gloss yarn feels so good in my hands.
