Welcome to Sweater Weather


The first frost hit last night, and we had the furnace on! So, the sweater wardrobe is out of storage. This is one I knit for Penny a few years ago, and now fits Piccolo. The body is Cherry Tree Hill 10 ply, color Peacock, the bands are a discontinued Annabel Fox Aran (one of my favorites!), color Amber, and trimmed in Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride. One little band is lime green. I had designated green as Penny's signature color, so all her sweaters had green in some form.
My work schedule is changing, and now will include additional travel. One of the reasons I changed jobs was to reduce my commute. So I'm not really thrilled about this development. I will know more in a week. The timing of this, with my upcoming trip, is really pretty stinky.
This weekend is a Myrna Stahman workshop sponsored by my Guild, and the lecture tonight really sparked an idea for a new dog sweater shape. I'm working tomorrow, and charting a dog sweater for the book, but on Sunday will take an all day lace workshop. I'm working on a few lace projects for my down time.
