Linking up with Ginny at small things again
Same project, new book. I gave up on the Shakespeare book for awhile because Emily is in a particularly whinny/clingy phase that does not allow me to pay attention to books easily. Unless they are children's books. In fact I have book group tomorrow and haven't even acquired the book yet. I started reading "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" though and last night Emily ran around me over and over while I read chapter two out loud. It seemed to work well. So we'll read that book for awhile.
Project wise I'm humming along nicely. The back bodice piece is now showing the pattern (sets of yarn-over holes in a V pattern). I'm loving the dark blue color. The black looks dull compared to it, but I hope once all the banding is on it'll tie the piece together. I also love the puckering the pattern is creating. In the pattern photo it didn't look puckered. So maybe I'm doing it wrong but it is awfully pretty. I also started the ribbing for the front bodice piece. Mostly because once I finish the back I'll want to continue working in pattern for the front rather than doing more ribbing. This sweater is tight around the waist, which is why the bottom ribbing is so long, and it's a bit annoying doing so much of it in teeny-tiny stitches.
I also finished the red sweater. I gave it a bath before installing the zipper and it's still drying so I can't put it on or lay it out for pictures. But it is finished!
