I’m stunned that it’s been so long since my last post. At least I’ve been keeping busy crafting. Finally wrapped up Babette. Just the first 9 panels, then I ran out of steam and figured it would make a good lapblanket for the couch.

Also knit up a brimmed cap in three evenings using the Page Boy hat pattern from Stitch Diva and Lion Brand Landcapes, a beautiful bulky weight yarn.

Here’s a another top down raglan I’m working on. Lion Wool-Ease Chunky (works up fast!) in a beautiful dark charcoal gray that does not show in this pic.

But let me vent: I will never do a top down raglan again. It’s supposed to be easy, but I never end up with the right number of stiches for body and sleeves, no matter how many times I rip back. And I dislike the squared off neck. Next time I’ll try a top down yoke with evenly distributed increases.
