The Impressionist Sweater

- robin

I call the new sweater that I made for Larry, The Impressionists Sweater for one reason. It looks better from far away. (It is knitted, in a Fair Isle design with acrylic/wool blend yarn)

Today is the day when all of the loose yarn is woven into the stitches and I Fray Check all of the knots.

The body of the sweater will then be blocked….and Larry might get to wear it ONCE before putting it away for the warm months. Ironic isn’t it?

It is not very quiet in my studio today. Henry Mancini is on the playlist and the garbage men in their noisy truck have just gone down our street. It is Tuesday at The Cottage.

It looks like it is time for a new knit project? (I have it ready to start and will post when has progressed a bit)

What are you doing to keep Busy? Relevant? Happy? Or just plain old content?

Love you beyond the moon.

It Is That Early

- robin

I am up early and feel wonderful.

Birds are not even singing, it is that early.

Today is a busy day for sure.

I must return to the hospital for tests.

But…..

I have been keeping my hands busy at home.

I have had no desire to paint yet,

but I have been working.

There is a little girl in our life who will be joined

by a new sister this summer.

I am taking advantage of this time

to get things made for the arrival.

Baby Sister sweater and blanket ~ done.

This is  the Aran sweater for Big Sister.

I started the front yesterday.

All of the different stitches are my favorite thing to knit.

What is it they say about busy hands?

Thank you for all of the messages and calls.

Emails and texts.

Life is very good.

Love you.
