Fiber Fool

Friday hit and I unexpectedly had nothing with a tight deadline on the to-do list so I declared it a “me” weekend. I started a February Lady Sweater. I spent the majority of my free time on Friday and Saturday reading through the KAL discussions on Ravelry trying to decide what size to knit. I did start on Friday, but decided I needed to frog and restart with the other size after Saturday’s forum readings. So, what you see above was started on Saturday evening. Photos were taken late afternoon on Wednesday. If the yardage is right I’m at about 35% completion - just a bit into my third ball of Cascade 220 Heathers.

This pattern is quite easy to knit. Even the lace is doable after a few repeats to knit while watching TV or chatting while KIPing. I am sooo excited to have a finished sweater to wear this fall and to be knitting on something with no deadline (though that has me so excited to knit on it I’m sure I’ll set a personal best on this one).

I also have sent off a swatch to Cyndy so we can be sure the buttons options she photographed for me will fit through my buttonholes and I can see the buttons on the swatch to better judge which color works best with my yarn. I’m sure her buttons will be the icing on the cake for this sweater.

The best part about this project is that it is not secret! I can share it! :-)
