The knitting is done on the Long Abandoned But Now Resurrected Rowan Felted Tweed Sweater.
It's funny, I got thinking today that this was the first yarn I bought when we moved over here -- I got it at the Bon Marché department store in Paris. I'd gone on my own just around my birthday, we'd been here only a few months, and it was a splurge. But it was soft and comforting, cozy.
It breaks a bit in the knitting. I'm wondering if that's not how the hole came about.
But the knitting is done, and one of the sleeves is sewn in. It's slow work, the sleeve is kind of a funny set-in dropped shoulder thingee, and the front has two layers where the yoke crosses over, so I've been taking care to try to get it all to sit right.
Hopefully I'll get the other sleeve in tomorrow...
This feels really good, you know. Now, if only the sweater is as cosy and comfortable as the yarn feels.
