I think there are few things that my knitter side likes more than being asked to make something for someone. Our friend S was visiting the other weekend and I was talking about how I was trying to make my commute 'worth it' by accomplishing things in the car when it's not my turn to drive. I was listing off numerous knitting projects that I've gotten underway since the commute began and he benignly asked if I was knitting a sweater. Yes, of course I am! A cowl neck in eggplant/burgundy for yours truly, a baby blanket, and a stocking.
Then, he requested a sweater! I let him choose from various designs (he chose the Elizabeth Zimmerman Seamlesss Hybrid--I've made two now, one for M and one for me). Then we talked color, something in an earth tone. I chose a heathered forest green for him, Cascade 220 Superwash (the ability to wash was a must).
The color is more accurate here...
but here you can see the heathering a bit more...Tonight, I'm checking my guage and plan to cast on!
