Home School Life

After fighting with my never-give-up side, I decided to pull my Danish Nattrojer off the needles. I am so glad I did. This thing is enormous!

So no starting-a-new-project guilt for me! If I was going to start a new project, though, I was at least going to require myself to use the same yarn. So I hunted around and found a great pattern.

This is the Katharine Hepburn sweater put out by Knitting Daily in their free e-book with 7 cardigan patterns. There are actually a few different patterns I like in that e-book, and most of them don’t use this teeny-tiny yarn. I love the cable and lace pattern of this sweater and it’s just perfect for the yarn I have. It will make a nice light-weight cardigan. If I ever finish it. 

I cast-on Thursday night and I’ve got about one pattern repeat finished. I’m really liking it so far — and it’s not ginormous. It’s not knit in the round, and there are cables, so it’s slower going than the Nattrojer was, but in the end it will be worth it.

Here’s a close up of the cable/lace detail.

Now if I could just find time to knit. Lots going on here — and this week is a big one for me. Wish me luck!
