More of that sweater

I Know you Want to see it!

Making this sweater has been just the perfect thing for having a small project to take with me everywhere. It’s been my companion on my regular walks and hikes in all my favourite places. I memorized a bunch of the rows, but it’s easy to just check my phone real quick for the few rows I still need a reminder on. Plus, doing it flat with wrong side rows means so many chances to just happily knit the knits and purl the purls.

Here are a few peeks of my progress!

I love taking in the greenery as I hike this time of year. The two plants above, sword fern and salal, are ones featured in my botanical tattoo, so I love saying a special hello to them
