Oh, right, I've been pregnant for the last three and a half months. I really was not prepared for how tired I would be in the first trimester. How I managed to finally finish the back of the sweater for our friend Paul, is somewhat of a mystery.
After I took this picture for the blog, I realized I made a mistake in the cable on the right side. Am I going to rip it back and fix it? Heck, no! It's not all obvious in reality and it doesn't affect the design or structure of the sweater.
Besides, I'm dying to start knitting for my baby, which I cannot do in good conscience without making some progress on this sweater.
The design is Men's Pullover by Sandi Rosner. The yarn is Rowan Big Wool Fusion in Source and Baltic. The pattern calls for double-stranding with a lighter weight yarn, but gives the option for using a single strand of super bulky weight. That's what I happened to have, so that's what I'm using. However, I didn't have enough of a color I felt was appropriate. So, I'm alternating two colors that blend nicely together. The blue peps up the gray while the gray mellows out the blue.
Just as I was coming out of my first-trimester coma, I came down with the flu. Vova and I took a little trip to Munich, had lovely time, and both got sick the day we came home. You can read a short description of the trip on Vova's blog.
