Sweaters and Socks...Socks and Sweaters



The boatneck bluebell is coming along swimmingly...You can tell I'm only at the beginning of the semester by how much progress I've made on the Boatneck Bluebell Sweater. This is a close up of the detail over the midsection.












I'm at the point of doing the shaping for the hips. Over all it's been a delightfully easy pattern to knit and I am encouraged to try other patterns in Fitted Knits.








I have been frequently craft stores as of late looking for just the right color of ribbon for our invitations, just the right weight of paper etc...so on one of my many trips I discovered that Moda Dea Sassy Stripe sock yarn was being discontinued so, really, how could I not? I got two different color variations...this is the first. I'll probably have left over yarn and I can make little baby socks for J's sisters future daughter! I'm using the Thuja Sock pattern on Knitty for this and it's by far the best sock pattern I've encountered. I'm not sure if it's a well written pattern or my knitting skills have advanced since my last sock scenario.

And finally, here's what else we have been working on....they're finally ready to go out! I have more detailed pics but want the guests to be surprised so this is all I'm posting!
