Knitting Finished

I finally finished the Cobblestone pullover. It knitted up easily; however, I need more help with the "short rows" in the front, specifically on the "purlwise" short rows. I guess I should have done a search BEFORE I completed the outfit. I found good tutorials with pictures here and here.

Progress on Cobblestone

I have made it up 3/4 way the body of the sweater. It is very easy to knit and I am impressed with the yarn. It is a great color. The Patons (which is very economical yarn) seems to be holding up great!

New Knitting Project

I have been wanting to start a new knitting project for some time. Since the boys are getting so big, I have resisted knitting them sweaters due to the time and effort invovled in knitting something large. However, a pattern in the Fall Issue of Interweave Knits Magazine caught my eye. It is a basic men's sweater pattern, knit in the round from the bottom up. While surfing the internet I found another gal who had made the same sweater with rave reviews. So, I decided to try it.

Those are the photos from the magazine, although I think this sweater will look just as cute on my boy!

I am using Patons Classsic Merino Wool Yarn in Paprika.
