When Knitting Was a Manly Art

Next project?

Our evening manager is expecting a little girl in May. I’d love to knit something for her and Molly Bee has got me thinking again about sweaters. Ruth Brown-Reinsel’s book, Knitting Ganseys, has a cute little sweater that would be perfect.

Chelsea’s Heart Gansey. Only two 100g skeins of sport weight (in maybe a nice soft pink) for a sweater for an 18 month old. Quick and relatively easy.

And I’ve been also contacted again by the KnitPicks design coordinator to do work for them as a test knitter. Too many choices.

That sweater sure is a sweet one. I think it sounds like a great idea.

That sweater is adorable. Maybe I should start with a wee one and work my way up. I ordered the book your recommended. Counting the days until it gets here. Off to make a Rocky Road Cheesecake. Will let you know how it turns out.
