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...

    1. Thanks! Darling says he still doesn't get the point of short sleeve sweaters, but as the wearer, I have come around to their purpose. I get it. I like it! (and leaving sleeves off may be the only way to make my 13 sweater goal...)

      5 down, 7 to go!

  2. Love it! Is there a patern for this short sleeve sweater?

    1. Thank you! There is, and I just updated the post to include the link, but it's Turmeric by Veera (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/turmeric)

      I never thought I'd knit a short sleeve sweater, but I really liked the idea of layering it and turns out, it's useful after all! I'm even wearing it today...
