I hope your holiday season has started off well. I'm here trying to prepare for art shows and sales, while still studying my online courses.
And of course, there is holiday shopping to do for friends, family and myself. I am topping off for myself on supplies I need to keep creating and selling.
In the meantime, its sweater season! I'm frantically knitting a Central Park Hoodie (I will show it later). I love hoodies because they keep my neck and head warm, instead of me having to wear a hat and scarf around. That's two less items for me to remember when I'm going out the door.
Honestly, I should make time to inspect my sweaters each year. Twice a year if I had the time.
This is a top down circular yoke crocheted sweater made from scrap yarn and a recycled thrift store sweater. The body is done in half double crochet (US). The colors are navy for the body, and greens and teals for the yoke, hem and cuffs. I improvised the entire thing from a picture.
This is my second time having to mend it, but it had served well over these years.
This is the underarm mending:
I'm going to use a handspun merino wool blue in a slightly lighter shade to fix the elbow hole. I will reinforce the other arm at the same time. Wish me luck!
