Knitting is a Constant

There's a lot happening in our lives right now but knitting remains a constant for me. The sweater back is going quickly and I love my new socks! One done, have begun the turkish cast on for sock #2.

Love of the Aran Style

As a high school sophomore and newly arrived in the state of Iowa, the aran style of sweaters called me very strongly. Iowa winters provided many opportunities to wear the heavily cabled wool cardigans. Plus, Mom believed in buying the finest Irish fisherman wool from the local yarn shop. This cardigan was knit by me in my sophomore year, was given as a gift to a family member, but then was returned to me about ten years ago. The sweater does not look like it's 42 years old!
