Stepping forward



One step forward - two back....I got side-tracked after my last post a year ago. Going forward now I've finished a few projects - a bulky wool sweater pattern that caught my eye using Vero yarn and now that it's finished I don't care for the way it looks on me. Maybe it would make a nice bed jacket if I can bring myself to rip out all that work and forget the time it took to make it. The yellow scarf seen in a previous post, "Good Intentions", somehow got finished last January in the midst of hospital visits after my 89 yr. old mother fell and had surgery on her skull. She bounced back to her old self at a moderate pace while I got busy once again with awaiting projects. For the green sweater, I used O-Wool, an organic light weight yarn. Maybe I should say a sweater is finished AFTER I weave in all the yarn ends, (or tape 'em to the inside due to my aversion to hand-sewing)
