I finally finished a sweater for me! It's the second one I've ever done. I like it a bunch. It's a Carbeth Cardigan. The pattern was pretty popular a couple of years ago, and seems to still be relatively popular. I finished it Saturday and need to block it and put on buttons. I suspect that Smallest will steal it from time to time. The yarn has some cashmere in it, which is oh so nice. This is before I finished -
We are deep into Coronavirus stay at home now. Middle was retrieved from school by her dad and Smallest a week and a bit ago (it is Monday, they got home last Saturday). Smallest has had online school for a week. The Boy starts online classes today, and Middle starts them next week. We are all wondering how one will have a studio art class online. About the same way Smallest has online dance classes, I guess?
Catherine has been in Boulder with our parents for almost two months (?) while our mom goes through some medical stuff. The good news is that she (Mom) is doing much better. The bad news is that I'm not sure if Catherine can get back home? I guess that traveling is still allowed, so she probably could? Probably not for a couple more weeks, I would guess. We'll get that all sorted out.
I've been working from home for about two weeks now. It is nice to use my down time in a more productive fashion, but I also miss being around my colleagues who could help me spend my time in a more work-productive fashion. Ah well.
Now that I've finished the sweater, I am back to TV knitting on the hue shift blanket. I've started the third row of 10. It's relatively slow going - about an hour per block - but it's nice mindless work. I've got another Sliding Frogs scarf going for Jeff's brother. That will take a while, but I'm happy with it so far. Smallest wants more socks, so I have some yarn wound for that. I tried a spiffy pattern, but the yarn is so stripy that it just wasn't cooperating, so a plain sock it will be. I think the next big project will be a Metronome shawl that I bought yarn for on our honeymoon to Seattle. We went to Churchmouse Yarn and Tea and I picked up yarn there. Hard to believe that was three and a half years ago! Time flies. I have a bunch of other yarn set aside to become things, so I am looking forward to working my way through it all.
Oh - and Smallest made her first quilt. She made it for her baby half sister.
