So. Despite the fact that I keep encouraging myself to post once a week, I'm finding even that hard to do. Where has my blogging mojo gone? Oh! But I did sign up for a crafty swap, and there's still time to join - go here if you'd like to.
Since last I posted I did finish Charlie's sweater:
Me: "OMG, it fits you PERfectly! With a little room to grow, even! How do you like it??????"
He: "Wow, it's nice. But it feels like little needles are pricking my arms."
Me: "Hmm. Well. Just wear a long-sleeved shirt under it."
He: "Okay, thanks mom."
Me: "Cuz you are gonna wear it, right?"
He: "Of course!"
So I think my boy is sensitive to wool and, truth be told, so am I. While it doesn't bother me to knit with wool, wearing it does give me a bit of "the itchies," but wear it I do because a life of only acrylic is not for me. That said, if I want my son to wear my handknits, I'll have to explore some other less-itchy options in the future.
Here's the Ravelry link to all the details. Now I'm off to start putting together some Ikea furniture. Is it too early for a glass of wine? Yeah, I thought so.
