But first, coffee and knitting.

I worked on Cassie's sweater yesterday.  It is looking more sweater like but it still has quite a lot to go.  

I took the afternoon to make some inches on the little Kauni cowl.  Since this is, in essence, a swatch, I changed needle sizes.  I was thinking about knitting an entire sweater on 3.5 mm needles and, honestly, I just could not face it.  Small needles and garment for a generously sized body means billions of stitches.  I usually give up long before I should and forever wish I had made the sweater just a smidgen longer.  

I thought about going up to 3.75 mm needles, but what the heck, going up to 4 mm felt even better.  4 mm needles it is.  


It looks great.  Remember, this is pre blocking and washing so the yarn will bloom and will be exactly what I am looking for.  

I can do a sweater on 4 mm needles easily.  So it's going to be a busy day.  I have to do some cleaning because family is coming for supper and if I am lucky I will get to see my littlest boys.  But first, coffee and some knitting.
