I did some knitting on the Anyday Sweatshirt over the last few days. I love how it is going. I will make my usual adjustments for fit, but it has otherwise passed to the lovely stage of comfortable knitting, that not quite mindless place I love.
At the same time, I was feeling the urge for something more. So I started another project, one that is very different than the Anyday Sweatshirt, but just as comfortable and enjoyable. And fun.
I have been dreaming of this project eve since I retuned from my Epic Adventure across Canada a few years ago and realized that I bought the coloured cones of for sale cotton yarn because they reminded me of a blanket I had made for my grandfather many, many years ago.
Originally I bought them thinking what a lovely vintage look wrap they would make. When I got home and saw that they were kin to my blanket full of so many memories of those I loved, I felt it should be something more.
Once the idea of more was in my head, I knew it had to be made with the feather and fan pattern and so it has sat, lingering ever on the edge of my knitting plans ever since. About a year ago, I decided a top would be something I would use and because of the gentle kahki green of the colours, it would be a great addition to my wardrobe.
This knitting dream begins now with fond thoughts of my grandmothers and grandfathers and favourite aunts and uncles and cousins and so much fun.
