Finally, a picture of the husband's finished fingerless gloves. He's been wearing them everyday. He was showing them off to my dad, and now Dad wants a pair too. I love it when the handknits are worn and used to full capacity.
The Baby Surprise Jacket Assembly Line continues work apace. The
brown-green-blue sweater has been gifted, and the navy-yellow-orange one is getting sewn up and having buttons added today.
Since my sister-in-law is in labor today, I call that pretty good timing. This one has stripes of five rows each, which I think helps it look more like a striped sweater. With only three-row stripes, the colors seem to blend a bit as you look at the sweaters. I couldn't keep the stripes continuous around the shaping, though, so I may go back to three-row stripes.
Next on the needles is a bleu-blanc-rouge sweater for a friend who now lives in France. For these stripes, I'm using the Fibonacci Sequence (1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34-55). Gotta keep it interesting now I'm on my seventh BSJ in the last eight months. I ran out of white about 30 to 40 stitches short, but called that plenty close enough. I'm hoping the blue holds out for the final wide stripe.
I am knitting something very fun for myself in the midst of all this, too. That deserves its own post.
