I’ve finished all the pieces of the Harry sweater and sewed up the raglan seams. Now I just have to finish the collar . . .
. . . and weave in some loose ends.
The ends are many in number, but I know from experience that the task is not too bad if I just take it one at a time.
We returned yesterday afternoon from a long weekend visiting family, and in three days we’re heading out of town again. Before we do, I have a somewhat daunting list of tasks to accomplish, so I’m trying to take them one at a time, too.
Meanwhile, while I was away, this lovely Woobu (wool/bamboo) yarn arrived from Blue Moon Fiber Arts.
These enormous skeins are each a half-pound, so this should be more than enough yarn for a sweater for my friend Tina. If I can figure out how to wind these monsters, I’ll wind off some little balls that I can use to swatch. I’m looking forward to trying the yarn out — I’ve never used Blue Moon yarn, nor have I ever knit with something that contains bamboo. It will be interesting to figure out how it will behave in sweater form.
I’m curious how the WooBu knits up! I’m also considering using it in a project, so … yes! What colorways did you order? One of them looks like “Moonstone” (I have a hank of Mediumweight in that colorway), and the other too look like they’re from the Raven series…
Woobu, woobu, woobu. I can’t stop saying it for some reason, what a funny but nice name. I love that grey.
You have a lot of fortitude re. those loose ends, but that is a very cute sweater!
