It's been a while to say the least!
First I was frantic with Xmas season knitting (not to mention starting a new job and taking care of my son) and then recovering from all that and suddenly January is over and I haven't posted in months. I actually have lots to show too! The gloomy mid-winter weather here in New England makes it tough to find good days to photograph knitting as well.
Anyway! Here's a blurry photo of my son struggling to take off a lovely sweater I just finished for him. This is why my title laments the best planned knitting. I've had this yarn for ages and couldn't wait to use it. Knitted up the nicest top down raglan for him that fits perfectly with some room to grow.
Last Saturday was sunny and finally I sewed that last end in and could put it on him to photograph. He spent the entire time trying to take the sweater off. Why? Who knows, I don't and he can't explain yet being just two and a half. I don't think he was too hot although his cheeks are very rosy in the photo.
This weekend I'll try again--it really is a nice sweater and I'd like to show it off. If he refuses to wear it I'll photo it by itself and then what...off to the bag of handmedowns for my nephew? Let's hope not quite yet.
But that's the nice thing about knitting, there's so much satisfaction in the project itself that wearing it, or watching him wear it is only one aspect. Is the wearing only an after thought?
Well... no, I really want him to wear it! And, it's cold and he needs a sweater!
More entries to come with other projects I've been working on this fall and early winter.
