Guys, this raglan is one of my absolute favorite FO's ever. Period.
It is warm, squishy and has an appealing diamond texture in a captivating heathered green colorway. The V-shaped collar has faux buttonholes, and you can't go wrong with a long-sleeved raglan construction. Plus, let's talk about green clothing...you can sport it for so many occasions, espeically St. Patty's day, Halloween AND Christmas!
(If I were Emeril Lagasse, I'd say "BAM!")
This was another project that I chipped away last August while at a family reunion near Galena, Il. Here's a little journey into my WIP stages:
That feeling, when you finally try it on and it fits perfectly!
I had to re-knit one of the sleeves due to an error on my part, so after I knit what was three sleeves, it was so satisfying throwing it in the wash.
Aw. The photo above was taken in what was my newly renovated bathroom at our last house, several months before moving. I miss those counters and mirrors...
As soon as it gets chilly this will be coming back on me!
As I began writing this next installment of "make-up posts," my kids finished their first day of e-learning at a new school district, and the quiet that once enveloped the house earlier could no longer be found, as they instantaneously became a bucket of energy. Yikes.
Anyhow...how are you? What have you been up to? Staying sane? Staying healthy?
I am continuing my journey of learning Italian. I started after the new year, then took a break around when we moved in the spring, then started learning more, then took a short break, and now it's about fall...it's time to get serious again! (I actually like being "the student.")
So, what's off the needle (as of a year ago?--eek): Rainbow Socks!
They are so pretty and cheerful. I specifically knit these during the warm months only. That means that I took two summers to knit each of the sock mates, and that was ok with me as I had other socks that I worked on too.
Since I've been slacking on "WIP" posts, let me take you through the entire journey:
These next photos were me taking this to two separate family reunion trips. The photo above was taken at a cabin surrounded by rolling farmland in Elizabeth, IL, near Galena, IL. The photo below was from a beach on Lake Michigan.
Fun stuff! These reek of summer! The funny thing is that they are too warm to wear during the summer months, lol.
Stay tuned for me upcoming make-up posts. I've got three more FOs, and a bunch of WIPS.
