Long time, no blog.

So, it's been awhile, and I don't have any pictures of actual finished stuff to show you. That's what comes of being too busy for my own good. In the meantime, I am working on a Featherweight Cardigan (Rav link here) out of Malabrigo Laceweight, which is super dreamy to knit with, in the color "water green." It's a lovely seafoam color that can't quite be captured with the camera on my phone.



I'm making a couple adjustments, because that is how I roll. I'm making it longer, and I am probably going to knit the collar in 1x1 rib instead of stockinette so it won't curl. There are so many beautiful variations on Ravelry where people have done lace and other super pretty things, but I think I will probably keep it simple so it's a little more versatile.

Also, I wanted to take a moment to say something nice about Hannah Fettig of Knitbot, who has designed 3 of the last 4 sweaters I've knitted, and actually also designed the pattern I'm using for my dad's vest. I LOVE HER PATTERNS. They are clear, concise, well-written and thorough. The styling is classic. It's all stuff I will wear until it falls apart. I know I never blogged good pictures of my Lakehouse cardigan, but I have worn it once a week since I finished it in January, and usually again on the weekends. I get compliments on it every time I wear it. Also the yarn is holding up beautifully to such heavy use. It's only pilling on the sleeves where my arms rub against the body. So, good substitution on my part. Go me!

In other news, we now know the gender of Oliver's new sibling. When SHE arrives in August, she will have a wide selection of knitwear to choose from, along with this:



I am SO EXCITED to have a niece!
