Not much knitting going on because my focus needs to be finishing up stuff for the Kentucky Wool Festival the first weekend of October. I am working on one small project I've had in the queue for a year though. Just in time for cooler weather, I've decided to change my 3/4 length sleeves on the Marcel sweater to full length sleeves.
One down, one to go.
Since the yarn used in the sweater has seen all sorts of sunlight and might not still be exactly the same color as the leftover yarn from my stash, I am alternating a few rows of old and new yarn to ease the color transition.
I didn't make any notes (yeesh) about what needle size I used so I had to guess on that. I know my knitting has changed significantly since then (I knit tighter now) so I had to try and figure that in as well. I test blocked the first sleeve and it's pretty darn close. I can see some slight differences, but anyone else would have to look really close...and that would be really weird...so I'm not too worried ;-).
When the single beds turn to double beds...yep, time to be thinking about long sleeves. Comby and Eli aren't thrilled. I'm jumping for joy :-D.
And another beautiful officially first day of fall morning. Half the sheep have already headed back in. I think Hank would like to as well, but he's got some making another pass through the breakfast bar on the hill, so he's splitting the difference.
We are often asked why our farm is named Equinox Farm. It's because that's the day we closed on it back in the fall of 2003. A very happy anniversary :-)
My book for the week was Don't Let Me Go by Catherine Ryan Hyde. It was cute and a fun listen.
Joining in with Ginny...
