Two sleeves are finished and I've started on the back of the sweater now.I loved this sweater pattern in green cotton (remember?),
so I know I'm going to love it in creamy, soft bamboo.
I started this sweater during the wedding gown project, and this is how
much I've managed to accomplish so far. The pattern and I
are so well acquainted that it's really a fun sweater to knit.
I'm already working on the ribbing, so that part will skip right along!
Kes has company for the next few days (or more). Our good friend, Richard, made an emergency trip to the hospital Thursday night, and had to leave Stout behind at home. He (Richard, not Stout), then called us this morning to ask us to go and liberate his dog, who'd probably been crossing his legs for hours awaiting his master's return. So, at 6:30 Friday morning, Handsome and I brought Stout home to stay with us for a while.The two Labs are good friends, and have spent lots of time together, so Kes is glad to have him around...as long as he doesn't try to play with her toys, and as long as he stays well clear of her food dish! Besides, she really thinks he's kind of a debonair fellow! (Just look at his way with the ladies.) Kes loves 'em tall, dark and mysterious. This ought to be fun.
Well, I loved that green sweater you made, so the same pattern in that color will be wonderful! I know you'll get a ton of use out of it!! Hope Stout boy has a nice stay while his papa is getting better. I'm really looking forward to the reveal of your previous post!!! I LOVE that look so far!!!
