Bit of Knitting

I mentioned a while back that I started a new knitting project. With our cool coastal climate , I wanted something to keep me warm but yet something that could also stay open when the temperatures warmed up, and keep me just right. Do you know what I mean? Well I believe I had found it when I saw Leslie's new knit a few months ago. It's Astor from Berroco, and it's knit up in Peruvia Quick.

I'm totally enjoying this pattern. The back and one and a half fronts are done. I did have a bit of a hard time with the wickerwork pattern on the first front, had to rip and redo about three times until I got it right. Once I figured it out, away I went. I just wish there was more time in the day to knit!
Hope you have fantastic week, stay warm where ever you are!

  1. I'm knitting right now too. I saw Sarah's in person and loved it. I need to finish a sock first before I can get back at it. Can't wait to see yours.

  3. I love the cables. I can't wait to see how it fits when you are finished. Knitting just rocks. Winter knitting in particular is the best!
