stasis.
One sleeve done of the gorgeous Stasis Pullover in Brooklyn Tweed’s Spring Thaw collection.

This is my first Brooklyn Tweed sweater. I have always…

wip, umbrellas.
My Umbrellas cardigan is blocking out once before I finally add some sleeves. The pattern calls for a nice short, capped style, but it’s not really practical in Boston, given our weather most of the year, so I’m modifying it to include a full sleeve.

Sweating the weekend out…?
While you’ll, undoubtedly, be sweating out a lot of the holiday weekend, I’m currently sweating over this sweater I’ve failed for finish. I’m nearly done the February Lady Sweater (halfway done the first of 2 sleeves and then its viola!), but I just found this old cable and bobble sweater sitting about. It’s a bit…

It’s not February, but it is a sweater for the ages…
I have been working on a February Lady Sweater for my Mum since late May; with the weather so great and the romping around constant, I haven’t had much time to actually work on this sweater. But I did have a student wear it while in progress before school was out and she was certainly…
