Zipping Back.

Normal knitters take a break for the Summer.
A pair of socks or a nice light shawl may be on needles.
As you well know, I'm not normal.
Summer began with an Aran weight, cabled, wool cardigan.
Flowing nicely into Worsted, wool, pull-over for Elijah.
Pieces, pieces, every where pieces!!!
Honestly, for kids there is really no reason not to do seamless.

This was a jigsaw puzzle.  Not one of those 12 pieces floor models either.  The real deal, seam here, seam there, seam that seamed piece to the other seamed piece so you can seam in the zipper to the seamed down collar.  Makes you want to knit tubes through the Fall, kind of seaming.
Have I mentioned I hate to sew?
It's done, thank you very much.
Extended the length of the body and of the arms, nice and big to hopefully last through the Winter.
One back to school sweater folded in the dresser, awaiting crispy leaves, and visible breath.


He's heart-achingly adorable.
First grade begins in one week.
Soccer is in full swing.
Deep river tan on arms kept strong by swinging repeatedly off rope into creek.
Seven days of vacation still beckon.
Crisp air greets our morning, swimsuits still rule the afternoon.
Wool and angora hoodie for NFL wanna-be taking shape.
My nemesis, endless stockinette rears it's ugly head.  Luckily, it's seamless.
