Plum Stitches

on my nightstand

 

A gift from a friend for my birthday.  I've just started it, but so far I am really enjoying it.  Anyone else read it?

Pattern:  Sweater on Two Needles/February Sweater, Elizabeth Zimmermann

Needles:  Circular size 7

Yarn:  Knit Picks Shine Worsted in Snapdragon 8064

Size:  I would say 6-12 months, depending on the size of the baby and might even fit an older baby.

Notes:  Here I go making this little sweater again!  I do love this pattern.  Not so crazy about this yarn (Knick Picks, ) but with the lace pattern it knit up really nicely.  I think I'm just not a cotton-knitting-kinda-gal.

What else?  Can't remember if mentioned earlier, but my little freelance job from the summer dried up.  It was a good re-entry, liked the flexibility of it, but there were some drawbacks.  It's all good at the end of the day.  So here I am once again trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up (now that I've crossed the threshold of middle age!)

Our planned Halloween festivities went awry with the crazy storm over the weekend.  But, despite the snow, my little jellyfish had fun.  The wigs were a bonus of sorts to get them into the costumes.  Unfortunately, I had problems tracking down 2 of the kids clear umbrellas.  Chloe ended up with an adult umbrella that was a little difficult for her to handle.
