I'm still working on the same Sherwood sweater for Finn that I've been working on for a few weeks. The pattern is starting to come a bit more easily to me, although I did have to rip out a few rows this weekend and take a 2 day knitting break due to a canning injury. (ouch!) Finn and I also started Pippi Longstocking over the holiday weekend and only have a few chapters left to finish. I really love Swedish children's literature right now. Of course, Pippi is a classic, but seeing her through the eyes of a little boy, who has never heard of Pippi's antics, brings such a smile to my face. I think we read the circus chapter 3 times before he was ready to move on with the story. Joining Ginny this morning...
oh no! I hope your hand is better! Love the cabling detail, I could see how it is tricky to keep it straight, and if you have memorized this I am truly impressed :)
ReplyDeleteMy two great loves are cooking and knitting but an injury in the kitchen is always an extra pain when it impacts on my needle work!
ReplyDeleteI hope your injury isn't too bad.
I really like how the Sherwood sweater is coming along.
Great knitting, love the color of the yarn and of course I love your choice in books. If you'd like some ideas of other Swedish authors let me know. I have a whole list of them. There's some fun one's I know Finn would like.
ReplyDeleteLovely knitting! I just finished up a sweater in a similar color. :) I'm happy to have found your blog through the link up, I'm sharing leg warmers this week. Happy knitting!
