I managed to finish a few knitting projects this past month. I blogged about the early ones, the ones that required so little it was almost embarrassing (but clearly not that embarrassing because I still haven't bothered with the sweater that needs ONE SIDE SEAM).
In addition to these, I finished a pair of socks for the ladyfriend using self-striping sock yarn bought in Berlin. I'm hoping to finish the Brooklyn Tweed sweater that's in progress now by the end of the month.
For years I didn't knit for her because she didn't wear the knits I made for her (I know, I can hear you gasp). Some of that was my fault - not necessarily her style or the size was off - and some of it was hers (the ladyfriend can be sensitive to wool; you know, the itchy factor). However, we're thinking the BT sweater is going to be a winner, and I'm ever an optimist (often cranky or jaded but still optimistic).
The other major knit I finished was my mustard top-down sweater, which was part of my wardrobe plans as outlined at the beginning of the year.
I have to say, I really like this sweater. It's totally easy to wear and looks like it'll play nicely with some of the other items in my wardrobe. It's just in time for MeMadeMay16, and because the weather sucks, wool or wool blends (this is a wool/hemp blend I picked up at the Romni Wools Boxing Day sale) are perfect. That's the nicest thing I can say about the weather right now.
