Husband is not Happy

 
I had to have somebody try on my completed Hallowig. It took some convincing and of course a promise not to tell anyone (hee hee). Anyway, here is the finished product ready for Rylie to become Cleopatra on Halloween. Shssshhhh. Don't tell anyone it is Bill modeling it, OK? (wink wink)

Sheldon and Lula

 I knitted Sheldon the turtle in between pieces of Bill's sweater just to have a break from the cables. I had enough yarn left over for a small baby bib. My granddaughter's doll "Lula" modeling the bib. I used Shine Sport and really love this yarn. Very smooth, soft and a very fast knit. Loved the Sheldon pattern.

Bill's Aran Sweater is Finished!

 
 
 
 Finally the Aran sweater is ready to be modeled. My husband, Bill, is quite uncomfortable with modeling a heavy wool sweater in our front yard in the heat of summer, but he really loves the sweater. It fits him nicely. I'm glad it is done, now on to the Wallaby sweaters for the grandkids. I'm always into another knitting project.

Bill's Aran Sweater is Blocking!

 
 
 Finally I finished the main pieces of Bill's Aran Sweater. Since it took a couple of days in between the sleeves and the body blocking and drying, I knitted Sheldon, the turtle from Knitty while I was waiting. Sheldon is also done. He was a fairly quick knit. Once the sweater is blocked and dry, it will be time to assemble and add the neck. The next pic should be Bill modeling his new sweater just in time for the cool weather. Oh and by the way, The washing and blocking was done with Baby Wash and I can now happily say, the sweater no longer has the essence of Evan's poo.
