I finished my summer sweater today, with little fanfare. It was a top-down raglan knit in the round, out of a merino/linen mix. The linen made the knitting a bit rough on my hands, so I'm glad it's over with. This is the sweater I started in the beginning of the summer while Bub was gone. The sweater I hoped to finish the month Bub was gone. That ended up taking all summer. Such is life.
So even though I'm also working on a first sleeve of a Whisper, I'll be casting on for Imogen soon. And I thought that before I started the Imogen, I'd knit a child's top-down raglan cardigan out of two balls of Noro Taiyo. But I can't bring myself to do it quite yet, because I apparently have a love/hate relationship with these particular balls (it actually ended up being six balls of varying sizes since each skein had knots in it) of Taiyo.
I've seen some people do mini-Imogens, and they're cute, so now I'm wondering if I have enough Taiyo to make Princess a minImogen to match a MommyImogen. The colors wouldn't match, but she's cute on her own.

Well, the yarn is pretty, and Imogen is very cute and I bet a matching one would be adorable... but the public demands pictures of the FO! Are they on Ravelry? Never mind. I have checked. They are not.
ReplyDeleteSomeday I should finish a sweater for myself... I'm almost done with the shawl I've been knitting for my MIL. Maybe then I'll revisit that Evolving Traditions sweater I started last Christmas?
I only *just* got around to taking FO pics of my Vine Yoke Cardigan. . . so it may be awhile (because I want a super cute pic).
