I took some time off of Klaralund to finish up a sweater that was languishing at the bottom of my knitting bag ... I finished the second half of the last sleeve, had a seaming party, and may I present to you Lia's Aran Sweater, from the pattern Julia's Aran Sweater in one of the Knit It! issues, made with 2 (maybe 3?) skeins Lion Fisherman's Wool, size US 8 needles. This is probably the best sweater in the magazine. It's so cute! You have to see Lia in it, although hot Sept weather and Aran sweaters don't really mix.
This was, by the way, my first foray into cabling, and I'm in love with the technique. I learned how to
cable without a cable needle, and it works well for me.
What else did I seam up?
Some dishcloths ... (I know, boring, but I kinda like them):
Waiting for a party another night is my little baby Matinee Coat from DB's book, baby cashmerino. It's the same sweater as the one on the cover. I loved this, but the yarn is really too small for an ADHD knitter like me. Here it is for now, waiting to party:
That's it for now. I think Klaralund needs me ...
