I spent the last month furiously sewing and knitting gifts. Not so much that I got overwhelmed and regretful of my plans, but enough to keep me busy with less crafting time for myself. I have photos of some of those creations, but first, I want to show my most recent knit for myself!
This is Spectrum by Joji Locatelli. I cast this off the needles two days ago, blocked it that night, and wore it yesterday. I love the bold chevron stripes on this, but I chose low contrast colors, hoping this would be good to wear on warmer days. Since it was in the 80s yesterday, it passed the test.
The yarn is Bernat Cotton-ish, which I got at JoAnn's. I have so many wool shawl/scarfs, and I wanted to try one in a cotton blend.
Not a bad job by my 6-year-old photographer. I have found that paying $1 per photo shoot greatly improves their conscientiousness in the matter.
I cast on my next project for myself right away - Jujuy from the same collection by Joji. I really need to get back to the second sleeve for my other son's sweater. Yep, I wrapped up a sweater with one sleeve for him. Sorry, Baby, that's life with a mom-knitter.
