I should be starting on the 3-needle bind off today i hope, and then get to work on the sleeves. I am super excited to get this finished! My husband is so nice...he will wear it even if he hates it, or if it does not fit him. yup, he is a GEM!! The yarn i am using is Dale of Norway Freestyle. This is a washable wool, and feels so nice. I love working with it. There was another washable by Dale that was a little bit more industrial strength, but i did not like the feel of it. Husband would wear the itchy stuff, but why suffer? Oddly though, he thinks that the itchy stuff keeps you warmer...as in, the irritation actually heats you up. That is one way to look at it, i guess!
So, where does this lovely little sweater live while it is being worked on?
It lives here, in this adorable little project bag that Miss G sewed for me!! I think this was the first gift she ever gave me, and that was about 2 or 3 years ago? I love it!It also contained a needle roll, but there is no room in it for the roll now! It is crammed full of yarny goodness, and pattern copies, my notions and what not.
