Summer Knitting

I was sitting at T2's soccer game last Saturday knitting on the Urban Aran. (This is progressing rather slowly.) The weather was perfect, sunny and in the 70's and 80's both Saturday and Sunday!! I was bantering with T1 (who will be the recipient of said sweater) and he was then picking on me, as 14 year olds tend to not know when to quit, so I decided to put the sweater in summer hibernation. Pthhhh!!! Take that sassy boy, you will not get a wool bulky knit sweater till fall!!! See I am Mom and really in control, right?

I took pictures to show you how far I have gotten and what did they show?!!!! I will never understand why the camera needs to pick up things we would rather not see. An extra 15 pounds, facial blemishes, dust bunnies in the background and color pooling in yarn skeins. Just when you think you are doing everything right and the picture shows a blatant color pooling on the bottom from the first skeins. Honestly it can not be seen but now I will know it is there and it will just bug me. Sorry to swear but - crap!

So now you want to know what I have been doing? I cast on for a cardigan for me. A cotton/wool blend. Watch for more details but the cream pictures are just the beginning...
