So, I started with the oldest knit I had in the closet. Therefore, I thought I would share the newest knit off the needles:) I began this sweater the Sunday before hurricane Sandy hit the east coast. It has been, and continues to be, a very difficult time for many people. We were very lucky and survived without any damage and power outage. Lots of time to knit as school was canceled for the week. The pattern is Drift, a free pattern by Berroco. I had the Cascade 220 yarn in the stash and wanted a simple knit. It worked up beautifully, though I was worried about the fit as I was working.
This is not unusual! Even after all these years of knitting I still second guess myself most of the time. Luckily, this time I was wrong and all came out well. I wore it to school today and stayed warm and toasty. As well as getting many compliments:) My students recognized it, as I had brought it in to school to work on. I went to JoAnn Fabrics and got the buttons Saturday. They are a bit heavy but I think they work well with the sweater.
As I begin this blogging journey I find myself thinking of how to proceed. I think I will just post as I wear a sweater or as one falls off the shelves:)
Cheers and thanks for reading:)
