Do you know what that is? That is mom’s sweater, with shoulders seamed and neckband knit, blocking. This is very exciting to me. The sleeves are also wet, and are draped casually over the back of my knitting chair. I learned from the last time I washed one that they don’t need to be laid flat and pinned to look excellent when dry. The sweater itself has been carefully positioned, measured, and pinned.

This is Mari’s poncho before being bound off and fringed. I am in the process of fringing now. Holy cow, it is taking a lot of yarn to fringe this thing. I don’t remember using as much on my poncho, which has many more stitches around, and therefore took many more fringes. How fast the memory fades.

And finally, the definite highlight of today’s post…. Nate’s first FO.

He may or may not add a big pouch pocket on the front. There are a couple other things that could be done to it, but it is done enough for the munchkin to wear, and it is cute. She is beyond thrilled that daddy knit her a hoodie.

Way to go, Nate!
