(sigh) i start again



The Manly sweater from Stitch and Bitch is one of the few projects I can't put down. I started it 2 years ago for my bro-in-law Dave, finished it, wayyyyyy tooooo small. Meaning it wouldn't go over his head. The arms were fine but I think I got lost in the pattern somewhere. This was the 3rd or 4th sweater I made, so really it wasn't me....






Frog the body



Start it again



and again



So I'm now working on that in the evenings or Pauls Opal socks. I need to buy Opal yarn in every color so I can use the leftovers to make me some real funky socks.




That's not Dave, obviously. Nice looking model tho. I digress, as usual. His sweater MC will be denim blue, cranberry stripe, black edging in Plymouth dk. Nice. He seemed please even though he couldn't get it over his head.

This is Dave-------->
Little grumpy here. Doesn't like his picture taken. I have some bad news for him when the sweater is finished. You gonna model honey..... His birthday is the same as my biological brother Bobs but Dave and I celebrate ours together at his moms. With any luck I'll have it finished by then. I'd like to get a felted fishermans hat started for Bob.
