This little sweater is for Isabella. I have unraveled it all the way down to the purple zig zag to change the colors around. This one is taking too long--I'm trying to stay interested.
This sweater is for Baby Amakasu (if it's a boy). I have baby girl's sweater in the mix, too.My latest creative obsession has been knitting. It's about 9 months old actually. Shouldn't I have a baby to show for it? I actually have quite a few babies. I knitted so many hats over christmas I can't even remember how many there were. Of course, I give away most of my "posterity" for gifts so, naturally, I don't have pictures for them. But these are a couple of the latest.
Why do I love knitting??
1. One can pick it up and set it down anywhere, anytime.
2. Unlike my other needle art passion--english smocking and heirloom embroidery--when I finish, I'm finished. I always have a pile waiting for me to set up the sewing machine and dedicate the hours it takes to constructing the garment.
3. The baby items, in particular, go quickly, are satisfying, and can be completed before I get too bored with the project.
4. It's fabulous fun.
