Knitting Finished

[atherleisure]

I finished the knitting on the 1936 raglan sweater last night. I wove in all the ends while I minded the boy at the pool. Now I have to block/steam/press it and sew on the buttons, and it will be finished. I should be able to wear it this week!

I cast on the Helen sweater coat this afternoon as a replacement project for knitting at work.

Hooray for finishing, and I love the sweater coat--it's one of my favorites. I can't wait to see it!

I bought the book for the Eleanor, but I really like the Helen too.

Hurrah! Pool sweater?

Any of my summer knitting could be partially done at the pool. It depends upon what I'm knitting, what I'm reading, whether my mother comes along...

That sweater coat is utterly charming, I love it.

I'm looking forward to making it. Unfortunately, the sweater I just finished isn't in Ravelry's database yet.

Exciting to get such a big step done! The sweater coat is so pretty.

It's always fun to finish something. This really was a quick and easy knit. It's fingering weight yarn, but the gauge was 5 st./in. so it went fast. It was also seamless which made the finishing practically non-existant.
