The Red Sweater

My sweetie actually picked this yarn out himself

…then bought it and gave it to me with a “Is this nice yarn? Would you make me a scarf?”. Yes!

I’m doing a basketweave pattern with a touch of blue on each end of 4 1/2 feet of gray. The yarn is Adrienne Vittadini Sara - 70% wool, 20% alpaca and 10% nylon. Really soft but the stitches don’t come out very even and this will need some ironing. But otherwise a perfect at lunch in the car in the rain project.

I finished the back and one side of the front of the Noro cardigan. It’s just flying - 18 sts/4″ - I really like that gauge. Not too bulky, not to … what? … fine? What do we call the small gauges? Anyhow, you know what I mean.

Yeah, it’s FRIDAY! I feel like I earned this one.
