Sunday

 Hi everyone. I hope you're having a nice weekend. Our weather hasn't been the most spring-like, more like   typical New Hampshire early spring. There's some nasty wintery weather potential in today's and tomorrow's forecast. AUGH!!!

  A few weeks back I finished knitting the sweater I've been working  on that I started in late winter 2024.  It's made with heavy Icelandic yarn in the Icelandic style, so when the weather warms up, I put it away  because it's too hot to knit with that wool then.  

   I'm going to share it today  for Nicole's Sunday in the Art Room, also known as sitar. And since it makes me happy, I'm also linking up to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.

    You'll have to excuse my photos because I was trying to find a good place to photograph the sweater.  I ended up laying it out on the rug on the landing that goes upstairs. I can't try it on and show me modeling it because I still need to do some hand stitching on it. Not only do I have some loose threads to weave in, but when you knit these sweaters you need to hand stitch up a hole that forms under each armpit. You can see I have some stitch holders in each armpit to keep me from losing the unknit stitches which, if  those stitches came out, would unravel that part of the sweater.

  I'm really happy with the colors, and I like the pattern I created for the yoke. I messed up the pattern that was in the knitting book (that I was using) right at the beginning of making the yoke, so I just decided to do my own design. I like it much better than the pattern that was in the knitting book. 👍

  That's all for me today. I hope you are having a great weekend, and that you also have a wonderful start to the new week.
