St. Brigid is "this close" to being done. I have a bit of yarn left and I'm putting some cable edging on the sleeves. This week I ripped the side seams apart, blocked the front and back, sewed the pieces back together with an attempt to lengthen the sweater a bit, then added cable edging on the bottom (you can't see it in the picture but it's there), and redid the neck band to tighten up. Next week: Finale!
Thursday was Rascal's home coming day! Exactly a year ago we took the skinny little puppy home from his rescue foster home. You can read Rascal's full story here. At the time we were told he was closer to eight months old, but he's done so much growing (in weight and relative maturity) in the past year, we think he was probably closer to six months, which makes him right about a year and half now. No matter, we are thrilled to have our perfect little Rascal, who does everything to live up to his name.
Earlier this year I shared some of my charity stash with a local middle school's new knitting club. This week I received this cute card the students drew and signed. Isn't it sweet?

That sweater is just GORGEOUS! I adore it. The card from the classroom is totally adorable. I love when classrooms send thank you cards like that.
Sniffs and scratches for Rascal, he's so darn cute! I love that sweater more than I can say, your knitting skills are abundant. The care is so very sweet. It's nice that they did that for you. Happy Fiber Arts Friday! Have a great weekend.
Agree, agree, agree!
Wow, your sweater looks more gorgeous than ever, you are an amazingly talented and speedy knitter! Your Rascal is a cutie, happy Rascalversary!!!
Agree x3 (like Kathryn Ray)! Those cards mean the world to the recipient.
And look at that awesome cabled sweater. Isn't it great to be able to get a piece of clothing exactly the way you want it? Patience is key of course. :)
P.S. - great pic of that Wascally wabbit. :)
The sweater is beautiful, and I am quite overwhelmed by the thought of all of that ripping out, figuring out and re-doing!!! It will be worth it in the end, though, when it fits you PERFECTLY!! XXO-
St. Brigid keeps changing colors, LOL. She's beautiful!
My little doggie came from an animal welfare society shelter. She was approx. 1 and a half years old ... I don't know what happened to her before I got her, but she actually has nightmares, even now, five years later. I wish more people would rescue doggies from shelters and foster homes!
Beautiful sweater and what a cute thank you card. Happy Rascalversary....he looks so innocent in this picture.
Love the sweater it is beautiful!! That was so kind of you to share some of your stash and what a sweet card to show their appreciation. Pups with toys are always nice to look at too :)
