85% completed baby sweater

In the home stretch now...finishing the second sleeve. Due to some imaginative increases on the first sleeve (and lack of memory as to just what those were), I now think of this as a learning sweater. The child will be able to learn the difference between left and right by looking at his arms!


This weekend I studied. That is to say, I knit and read books. The Special Olympics scarf is due by the beginning of January, so I'm trying to put some time into it. I really hate knitting with Red Heart but it will soften up after washing so hopefully won't scratch the athlete it's destined for. I have some great afghans made of Red Heart- 25+ years old and going strong.


And some yarn love. The green Malabrigo is to make a neck cowl to match my new ski jacket. :) When the package came I said "oh look, CKG's yarn came!" My sweetie, somewhat alert to how my mind works asked "but why did her yarn come to our house?" Um, there were a few skeins in there for me, too. Oops.


The gray variegated is destined for socks. I think.
