In April, I set myself a
big challenge. I am working on two birthday gifts and a sweater. The birthday
gifts will be revealed in time but the sweater I can talk about right
now.
The sweater is made of
Miltons in an olive color. Luckily for me, it is a worsted weight yarn. This
means it will knit up faster. YEAH! The pattern is Amused from Knitty. It is a
pullover style and is knit from the neck down and the collar is added later. The
directions are straightforward and I am enjoying the knit.
This month the colors are
green and red. Last month they were brick, white and black. Next month they
will probably go back to black. I plan to work on the Mithril vest from
Sunflower Designs. She has started a KAL for the vest and since it was already
on my list of things to do this year, I rearranged my schedule a little so I
could join.
It took me four months but
I just realized that I am spelling Challenge wrong. My dad always told a joke
about missionary kids speaking two languages and not being able to spell either
one. That is a little too close to home. If I did not have spell checker my
Prayer letters home would look like the floor of an editor’s office. Please
accept my apologies and I will try to do better in the future.
In the mean time, I have
some gifts to complete and a sweater to knit. Keep on knitting and learning.
