This week has been another crazy one from a work perspective, but I did manage to finish up my pullover this morning (even though I did go into work for a little while). It fits pretty well, too, coming down exactly to the top of my hip bones, which is where I wanted it. And the sleeves come down just past my elbows. I did a little garter stitch edging to keep the curling under control (two purl rows, two knit rows, two purl rows) and a little body shaping, to give it a nicer silhouette. I did have to switch to a US 8 (5 mm) needle for the sleeves, I knit tighter when knitting in the round on 12 inch circulars
I also spotted another wolf spider in the house on Thursday night. I haven't seen him again. He was moving fast and ran behind furniture before I could capture him. I am steeling myself for the possibility of being crawled on by him at some future date. I am hoping that if I mentally prepare myself for the event it will either: a) not happen, because I have prepared for it, or b) I will not freak out when it does happen.
Pattern: my own
Yarn: Zen Yarn Garden Serenity Worsted, in Japanese Red Maple, 800 yards
Needles: US 7 (4.5 mm), US 8 (5 mm)

Lovely sweater! And the color is absolutely gorgeous. I hope you find your spider before it finds you. (shudder) I don't like them either.
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) Roxanne does gorgeous reds. The photo does not do the color justice. Still no sign of the spider.
