This sweater is really too warm to wear in Oregon. It’s so soft though and very floppy. If it weren’t so bulky it would be a great weekend movie watching snuggle up sweater. Here’s hoping this winter is a cold one!

The {Bulky} Felted Sweater

So, this is way more bulky than I expected. I’m trying to decide whether or not to attach the collar - it feels a little overwhelming with it on, like I’m being swallowed by it. You tell me. I like the sleeves, though - don’t my wrists look dainty?

I have no head in these pictures because it’s Super Bowl Sunday and I haven’t yet showered. Bob and I are nested in for the big game, though I’m just in it for the nachos, the commercials and the knitting time. Go Raiders!

The Felted Collar for the Felted Sweater

Here’s the collar on the felted sweater - the last piece - I’m almost done! I’m working frantically tonight to finish the blasted thing so I can wear it tomorrow for casual Friday (gotta love the office). I can’t believe I’m going to get to wear this fabric. It’s very luxurious. Very comfy like pajamas but, because I’m at work, it’s kind of luxurious.

Bob is in Las Vegas

Bob is in Las Vegas on business all week. This is what my evenings consist of. Yes, that’s a jelly donut and a glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. And my soon to be finished felted sweater. Yum.
