Milestone sweater

It has been a hectic week, but b'h things are settling down for a pleasant Shabbos. We were supposed to have guests for lunch, but they canceled so it's just us. I have already made challah, chicken and fish. Chocolate cake, cholent and veggies are still on the to-do list. I am going to keep this short since it's Friday, but I just wanted to post a picture of the completed orange sweater.


I don't usually wear orange, but I was captivated by the yarn in the store. It is a Fleece Artist yarn wool/silk/mohair mixture. It was knit in the round from the bottom up to neck and then down the sleeves with no seams. It was pretty boring to knit, but I finished it and that was important to me. I usually knit small projects, because in the past when I have tried to conquer larger ones, it has either taken years or I just lose interest and don't reach the finish line. So this sweater is a milestone for me. I think the ultimate factor in determining whether a large project will get finished is the choice of yarn. I have to love the color and the feel of it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Shabbos.
