We found a house to live in.
We moved.
We now have internet.
I have located the camera cable.
While house-hunting, moving, organising internet and finding camera cables, I managed to do some surprise knitting. At least, I managed to keep it mostly a surprise until I accidentally left my knitting bag on the bed one day and Paul saw it. And since he’d been nagging for a Handmade Jumper of His Very Own, he figured it out pretty quickly.
So, here we have That Genius Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Seamless Hybrid. Made with the shirt yoke option and three balls of Bendigo Woollen Mills Rustic 8-ply Red Tweed for a 6′4″ man. I made it while listening to The Iliad and named the Ravelry project Odysseus.
Just prior to knitting Odysseus, I made Another Thing for Someone Else. This time a baby cardigan for my new niece Ruby, made using the Half-linen Stitch Toddler Sweater pattern from Curious Creek and some leftover Patons ‘Serenity’ and Cleckheaton ‘Bamboo’ yarn. Ravelry details are here.
I altered the pattern slightly by picking up stitches in the round for the sleeves then knitting down to the cuff. Why sew six seams when you can get away with two?
