A Little Bit of Knitting

I've been knitting! With yarn from my stash! Which is a good thing!
First up Citron.
It's an easy knit made interesting with the ruching. I only had just enough yarn for the five pattern repeats. Wish I had more. Details are over at Ravelry if you want more info.
I might keep this or save it for holiday time.


Next up is Boheme. This will be on my go-to list when my husband comes home from work, yet again, and asks me to make something for some young parents, who I have never met before! I messed up the buttonholes (details on Ravelry) but c'est la vie! I made it work and I'm happy with it.

Currently, I'm working on a mindless summer scarf and planning my fall knits. I'm thinking of a "boyfriend" sweater. Any suggestions?

Beautiful knitting, Jane (and, as always, exceptional photos too!).

Loved your Boston trip recap -- looks like you made some happy memories.

Both knits are lovely. I'm making a Citron too! My first and I can't wait to make another.

Boyfriend sweater or husband sweater?..hehe.
For my for boys, hubs incl. they have all asked for hoodies...yey!
-my most unfavorite thing to knit x 4.

Now I got myself giggling about you knitting a sweater for your boyfriend, and wondering why a boyfriend needs a sweater... But anyway, no, I can't think of a good one. I'm obsessed with Rosamund's Cardigan, though, which could have the same floppy feel - though not be share-able with your boyfriend!

impressive.
hmm planning ahead for the fall ... that is a good idea.

I really like the ruching and the curling bottom on the first piece. I just finished an easy summer scarf. Sometimes I believe scarves are all I'm meant to knit...

Amazing knits! I am really liking the yarn you used on the Citron!
Boyfriend sweater...I have always love the cobblestone pullover by Brooklyn Tweed. :)
Happy knitting!

Beautiful colors in the Citron...looks like it'll be the perfect fall shawl!

And such the cute pick top!

well, hello there...

 I thought I might start writing again.  Not sure what I will want to talk about.  The guys have their own lives and are making...
