I felt like I was really scooting along with the first of the sweater fronts. Since it was only half the width, there were only half the stitches added in for that dolman sleeve. I'll start the other side this morning. The rib has the same number of stitches as most of my socks and uses the same size needles. So, tell me why it seems to take forever.
I did kind of get seduced away from it, too. On Tuesday, I was given
On Thursday, I cast on for my Not-My-Grampa's Cardi. The pattern is this one by Ned Renfield. Really, really simple. It would have been even easier had I had the right size dpn's for the sleeves. I had to knit them flat and seam them later. Those small amounts of yarn were all that I had left. I even had to fudge the collar by a couple of rows.
I'm just going to go and sew on the buttons and seam the sleeves now. Then I'll look in the bag and see what else I can make. There's a little baby blanket I'd like to make up. Have you noticed that the seniors buy a lot of baby stuff?

There's something of a strange, disembodied look to "parts" of knitting like that front by itself! I'm not sure what it is but it makes my brain do a double-take.
Love the blue cardi - do you know who it will be for?
Great idea to donate the big bag of yarn and very generous of you to "add value" to it for the store. I'm thinking of the number of people who benefit- the donor, who cleared unwanted yarn, the purchaser who gets a unique and beautifully knit gift, the baby who wears it, and you get to use your skills to help others.
That cardi is super cute, great use of colour and I like the pattern.
That little cardi is adorable! Some little one is going to be toasty warm in that beautiful creation.
The baby sweater is super cute:):) Have a happy Easter!
