day 7: forecast torso

I'm back to knitting for myself. The forecast sweater made some admirable progress during our car ride back from NJ. That is, until it made me feel ill some place in the hills of Ohio. I've tested the limits of car knitting, and it seems I can only knit int the car in flat, straight places. Hence, knitting on the commute to work in Illinois is just fine. (No, I'm not driving. Elie's driving. I'm knitting.)

It was so exciting to actually put this on and find that it will fit just perfectly. I should always be so lucky. If I keep up this pace, I will certainly be done by February, which is some sort of arbitrary deadline I gave myself. You know, I want to wear it before it gets warm. Oh, wait it was 60 degrees outside today. What's up with that! It was enjoyed by all, though. Eva spent the entire day outside with the neighborhood kids. At some point I threw a PB&J and a water bottle out to her just so she wouldn't pass out from hunger, thirst, exhaustion, etc.

Oh my! Such a pretty color! It's coming along beautifully, I can't wait to see the finished product! I'd love to knit this well. I think I'll just stick to scarfs for now. ^_^

That sweater is going to be cute! What is up with the weird weather, 60 degrees yesterday & then the thunderstorms... :)

I found that I loved knitting in the car on our way to visit family for Christmas, although I cannot knit in the dark... (I discovered that when we left a bit later to come home & it was almost dark already:)
