EC: Up Close and Personal

Here's a close-up of the neckline, including the fun little tag they included with the kit (although I haven't sewn it in yet):

This photo is so washed out. It's in natural light, but the sun had already set. Trust me, the color is much more pleasing in person.

As I was driving back and forth from the soccer game today, I dedicated some thought time to a better use for this wonderful yarn. I think I would like to tackle something from "Knitting in the Old Way" by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts, especially her "Plan 10: Sweater with Shaped Saddle Shoulder." According to the author, "The saddle shoulder can be shaped, to reduce some of the boxiness of the style. This can be especially effective when using heavy or bulky yarns."

Being as how our arms typically hang straight down from our shoulders and do not at all times stick out perpindicular to our bodies, it only makes sense that a sweater should be better shaped to accommodate that as well.

Hi Karen, I am very new at this website and computer stuff. Your website is very interesting, as you seem to be! Enjoy, your children, as I can tell you are, and your knitting. I'm 53 yrs. have been hand knitting since about the 6th. grade. I don't do anything that fancy, but enjoy, it very much. I'm a retired care=giver, and now have time to pick up my favorite hobby, knitting. It's been very nice hearing from a real person, I can relate to. You sound like your a good mom, and have a great life ahead of you, Sincerely, Susan Cummings
