It’s still unseasonably chilly here. With plenty of rain. (Trust me, that rain barrel is Full To The Brim.) The garden is coming to life . . . slowly. And the sun is shining now and again. (But not much. And not for long.)

So.

That means I’m still just fine with man-sized, heavy wool, fishing sweater knitting.

And I have progress to report! The back is finished, complete with lovely, sloping shoulders that are ready for the (eventual) saddle shoulder construction. And I cast on for the front, completing the ribbing portion of the sweater-body last night. Now it’s just . . . cruising along in stockinette! For a long, long time.

(And because I had a couple of questions last week . . . That green yarn up the side there? It’s just how I count/keep track of rows. I’ll pull it out once the sweater front matches the sweater back.)

Oh. And as far the yarn for that baby sweater I showed you last week?
It’s Option 2 all the way!

(Although if I were knitting a sweater for myself, I’d go with Option 1. But this is . . . well. Not for me.) (And those Option 2 colors are a lot more saturated than they appear. They are not pastels . . . Not really.)

How about YOU? What are you making this week?
