As I suspected, starting off the year of the sweater with a quick win was a great idea. Two weeks of knitting, and I already have one down- only eleven to go!
During today’s Star Wars marathon (introducing Lady Jo to the movies… or at least two of them so far), I finished it and even sewed on the buttons. That’s dedication to the cause. And after our buddies left, I cast on for an adult-sized Tea Leaves for me! For the record I did a gauge swatch (since the yarn is technically dk, and the pattern calls for worsted). Glad I did. Gauge swatch people, you win this round.
Oh, you wanted a photo? I live to serve.

Year of the Sweater- we are ON! And since people are turning up pregnant all over, this is a stupendous year to be making loads of baby sweaters. Now, all I need is my Grandma Edie’s famous popcorn sweater pattern- because what would the Year of the Sweater be without one in tribute to the biggest knitter I’ve ever known- my paternal grandmother. She could knit a baby sweater, bake the best cookies on earth, eat a bag of M&Ms, all while babysitting me and my sister and watching tv. Our generation may be multi-taskers, but we could learn a lot from Gramma.
Gramma sounds like an awesome lady!
