Knitting Fool

I knit a sweater.

That fact, in and of itself, is rather uninteresting.

But it's the 5th sweater in a challenge to myself to knit 13 sweaters in 2013.

And now that I've gone public with that info, I feel a bit more committed to it. (Darn, can I take it back?)

Well, anyway, this is the 5th and I've already cast on for the 6th. So far, 5 are for ME and 1 was for Darling.

Selfish knitting, I suppose, but being the knitter, I get to decide that.

I imagine that the fall and winter will be filled with baby and kid sweaters so that I can meet my goal with less knitting, but we shall see.

Did I mention 2013 is meant to be a stash busting year as well? Ahem. We shall see...

Stripes

O chose stripes today. Heaps of 'em. 

Finally, we boil!

The weather is gorgeous, the kidlets are stomping in their mud boots, the sweet water is boiling. If I didn't know better, I'd swear spring weather has finally hit the UP!

Eggs and All

Three weeks later I'm finally getting to those Easter pics. The extended winter weather hasn't been helping. But looking at these at least makes me think "spring" and that is a lovely diversion.
