I’m cheating, these pictures are old (see the little sliver
of pumpkin by the cat?) but there are so many things I’m working on that I can’t
post because Christmas, and we have been busy with holiday preparations and parties,
and with the general life-maintenance of cleaning the messes left in the wake
of our delightful 2.5 year old tornado (ok, some a lot of those messes
are ours too).
My phone and camera are also both busted and in need of
replacement, so the few pictures I would snap in the midst of busy days have
been missed too (really need to take care of those replacements – I’m having a
big “nice one vs. cheap one” debate on both fronts).
We have been having a lovely December though, and we have
big plans for even more fun before Christmas – another trip to the mountains, seeing
Christmas lights, cookie baking and decorating, art projects, carousel rides, cozy
evenings with family and friends.
I started knitting this sweater for K in October and it’s
been finished for a few weeks except that I still need to get buttons. I
whipped up a little version for Cat which was very satisfying – took maybe 2
hours? It actually came out a tiny bit too small but good enough. I did not
take notes, but it’s more or less a tiny version of the main pattern. My cast
on was 17 (3 for each front and sleeve, 5 for the back) and then you just go
from there. The leaf lace increases to a max leaf width of 3 stitches with no
purl bump before the decrease again. This all makes much more sense if you’ve
just finished knitting the regular sized one.
