Progress On Sweater

Well, I completed the back piece. The front of the sweater is almost done. Just need to finish with the second shoulder. And then I can move on to creating the sleeves, which will go along very fast. I realized about half way through the pattern, that I need to go buy some circular needles. Which doesn't bother me. I like having all sorts of different sized needles to experiment with. I'm looking forward to making the cowl. And I just found the other day, a very pretty sweater pattern that I could do for daughter number two. It doesn't have the cowl like this one, but instead some really pretty fluffy collar adornment. And the suggested yarns would look so pretty with that one's eye color and hair combination. I'm thinking of a burned bronze for the sweater with honey brown highlights. I'll have to get to the hobby store with the massive collection of yarns to start checking out combinations. It would be a nice addition to her small collection of "professional" looking clothes, as she calls them. I also found my pattern book with sweaters for little girls. There's a particular vest in plum that the kindergartner wants. So I might work on that when she's in school for a birthday present this fall. And the younger two are clamoring for blankets. Yeah, I think I'm hitting my quotas on projects this year, already!
