So , another week has gone by and no posting . Too busy knitting . It's amazing how much productivity goes up when you stay away from the computer . There's one finished knit , an almost complete pair of socks and a new baby sweater on the needles . I'll give you the finished knit first ....
The Icelandic style pullover , sized for a 2yr old . The red and cream yarns were from the stash and I bought 2 balls of gray for the body . The yarn itself is Paton Shetland Chunky , an acrylic wool blend . It's soft , but it's really fuzzy , so I'm betting that it will pill like crazy . I'm not worrying about that too much because Jessey will probably outgrow it in no time flat .
I had the oddest dream last night . I dreamt that someone had left a truckload of fiber and yarn in our driveway . The icing on the cake was that there was also a spinning wheel amongst it all . Do you think my subconscious is telling me to get going with my efforts to learn how to spin ? Soon .....
I'll post the other projects in the next post , by then at least the socks should be done . Have a great day !

Love the little sweater! I don't think you'll have a problem with pilling. I have a sweater knit from the Shetland Chunky that I made probably 15 years ago at least. It still looks the same. It says machine wash dry flat, but I've always thrown mine in the dryer. Maybe that gets the lint and pills off. :)
The sweater sure is cute! What a great dream! :o)
