I know it’s not September yet, but my hands had nothing to do the other night, and now I’m almost done knitting the yoke. I chose the ribbed yoke over the leafy one.

Ruching, ribbing, or leaves?
I’ve made three swatches, and now I have to make up my mind: what kind of yoke shall I knit for my new sweater? I’d love to get your opinion, too, even if you don’t knit. What looks nicest?

The minute I finished Aidan’s blanket, I started this sweater for me. There are a lot of “firsts” for me in this sweater.

I’ve now made three sweaters in five months, and I must say, at this moment I feel very much OVER knitting in general […]
