Dad's Aran


My pattern jumping seems to be over... I have been knitting samples for the shop and others and neglecting my own projects. What is frustrating is that my mind is Still working on 5 projects but my hands need to remain with 1 project.

This is a cardigan I began. It is for my father for Christmas - about 2 months away. I may need to rename the Honey to Frog's Aran. Am I being so persnickety because the pattern is faulty? Because I don't understand it? or because it will go on the Front of my Father? Probably the last.

But I need to forget who it is for... and Knit On... or I will not ever finish it. Pattern is from Two Sticks and a String by Kerry Ferguson. The yarn is delightful - bought at 40% off from Mass Ave Knits at Susan's Christmas Sale. I am working on the set-up rows... over and over again.

My goal is to work on this - exclusively - for a full day. I may get past the set-up row angst. Wish me luck. I will report back.

  1. Best of luck to you- as you know, project manogamy is not one of my forte's. Keep chugging along- if anyone can do it, it's you!
