Bill's Aran Sweater


I finished the back of Bill's Sweater. The cables start swirling in your head if you knit too much at one time. My husband, Bill , is of Irish ancestry and has always wanted a hand knit Irish Cabled Sweater. Well, this is my progress so far. It is not blocked yet as I am waiting for my blocking board to arrive. I think before I start on the front, I'll take a break and knit up one of EZ's Baby Surprise Jacket for my new grandson. Check my main blog link for pics of my beautiful grandkids!

My Attempt at Domino Knitting




Modular knitting is something I just had to try. It makes very sturdy items and is just perfect for the pot holders I have made with Cotton Yarn. I did like the idea of not having to sew the seams, but rather knitted them as I went along. The piece once knitted was done and ready to use. I'm sure you will recognize the yarn as bits of left over from Rylie's fall sweater.
