f.o.: shíyázhí sweater.
This is the Shíyázhí Sweater by Jennifer Berg, a fabulous Native designer whose has a number of patterns I've completed. The Shíyázhí sweater is a beautiful color work pullover for children and this one was made for my youngest nephew, on his 4th birthday this summer.
f.o.: socks for doc.
I try to make a few of the Purl Soho Boot Socks for doc each year; he wears them nonstop all winter (and sometimes even into warmer months) and so he's always in need of new pairs (I don't darn once they get holes--terrible, I know, but convince me to add this skill to my bucket, please).
f.o.: norwegian fir sweater.
My colleague and his wife had a baby this fall. I decided I definitely wanted to make them something. I had some leftover Harrisville Designs Shear from the Morchella Cardigan (which believe it or not I'm going to knit another one with lost of ease) and it was a perfect match for a sweet pattern like this mostly open front cardigan Norwegian Fir. Plus, it was just the right color and amount of wooly softness.
