It has been a lovely week, weather wise. We are due to return to school next week (almost a year since we closed the school doors), so this week has been mostly preparing for that. We have a slightly staggered start, with Daniel starting back with me on Monday - Thomas returns on Friday after going in for his first test on Thursday. So next week will be interesting - at least Easter is not far away!
I've continued to work on my garter stitch blanket and Oare water, but I will show you next week when, hopefully, I can show real progress!
I have been working on a new project! When we were out for a walk, Daniel saw a lovely dog in a beautiful coat. He happened to say he would like a Christmas jumper like it. So (always eager for a new appreciated gift) I looked for a similar pattern and found one from Deramores. So here is what I gave so far.
This is knit in John Arbon knit by numbers as I had that in stash. It is knit in pieces and usually I would convert to in the round, but I thought I would try it and see if I can learn a new technique!
And that is that for this week. Hope everyone has a good one.
OOOHHH, that is a lovely jumper. Daniel has a good eye. I am sure we will all love watching how this unfolds over the next few weeks. Good luck to all of you heading back to the classroom.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great jumper! Best wishes as school in person resumes. I would think that's a "normal" that teachers and students appreciate.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool design. I especially like the little dots, always love a supply of dots in a pattern.
ReplyDeleteHmm are those legs appearing on the jumper, this looks like an interesting pattern and how lovely to have a request. Best of luck with the return to school for all of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sweater that will be. Love the colors, and am looking for all the designs to emerge. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well when you return to school. I love the jumper! I would like one like that too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely pattern! The colors are so cheery!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a smooth transition to in-person learning.
the jumper looks splendid. It is always wonderful to knit for those that request and appreciate all the hard work. I'll be thinking of you with the return to school. I must admit I am so glad to be a retired teacher at this pandemic time.
ReplyDeleteThe jumper is looking great! Good luck with the return to school.
