A few days ago I cast on for Noah’s birthday sweater, realizing I have two birthday sweaters to knit in the next four weeks. I’m making the Asnes sweater for Noah in a really nice wool alpaca blend. I think it will be soft enough and a really nice color on Noah. I think the pattern is fairly gender neutral too, so it’ll be a sweater his younger sisters can wear one day as well. Anyway, it’s been so nice to knit–soothing, simple stockinette. I’m also loving anything in this color right now. I finished the body and have started sleeve number one, though I just now realized I’ve been working on the sleeve in the wrong needle size and need to rip back the stockinette. (Thankfully I realized that now!)
Not much reading this week, if any. 😦

That’s a really beautiful color! Very rich.
Thank you! I hope he likes it as much as I do. 🙂
