Day 10 -Photo a Day

Stripes – some of the aforementioned socks.

Best. Day. Ever!

OK,maybe not ever…..

This week I was approved to try an OWL.  This is a knitting challenge for those who are on Ravelry and are in the Harry Potter House Cup group.   I have not tried a sweater in an adult size for a few years as the first was a bit large and took quite a while to finish.

I am planning to make a sweater.   I had the yarn from a knitter I used to know who was clearing out her stash in prep for a move.   She had  over a sweater’s amount of this yarn – it is a lovely blue/grey – and I think I found the most perfect pattern.  It’s wrap sweater with some almost cabley ribbing on the bottom and the sleeves.

Feel  free to visit  the link to see my progress.
