Its been around zero degrees Fahrenheit, and finally warming up this week into the twenties. Our furnace went out and had a repairman look at it for a few hundred bucks. It was fixed in under an hour and our home went from a brisk 54 back to 68. We took a lot of time to declutter the house and get rid of our excess (if you dont count the kiddos room which is full of toys and most certainly next..one of these days). Everything is a little more clean, and theres a lot more space to breathe. That has been incredibly nice and therapeutic. Something about clearing physical clutter clearing the mental clutter...I dont know.
And there has been time for sweater work. The yoke part is completed, now just working up the body and arms. It is a quick make, mostly due to the smaller kid size.
It needed a little but of spunky brightness (and some ruffle cinching) so i hit it with two lines of surface slip stitches around the collar. More will be added to the sleeves. The first was a stitch in each, the larger circle was a slip stitch two together each stitch.
The body itself, a 100% baby alpaca wool. Most certainly a hand wash only sweater, but what better way is there to teach her to care for a sweater? Let me know what you think by dropping a line on Instagram or the book of faces. See you next time. ✌️
