About a week ago I shared a picture of some red and black yarn I was using to start something new. I have been alternating between the red and black sweater, and the Sweet Pea Cardigan. I have an inch or so of stockinette on the pea green Sweet Pea Cardigan, after finishing the garter strip around the body.
Since that was a good place to leave to work on at Knit Night (in other words, brainless knitting) I turned to the red and black yarn.
I had decided on another Baby Surprise Jacket out of wool, this time Cascade 220 Superwash Sport. The colors would be for Older Son's tractor of choice, Cash IH. Or as I grew up calling them, Farmalls.
The Farmall Jacket is growing right along. After swatching, shown above, (because I
do swatch) I made good progress. I am presently on making a black stripe on the sleeves and across the back.
I love the Baby Surprise Jacket. At no time during the knitting process does it remotely resemble a sweater. And then, once it is bound off and a couple folds, and...whoa, instantly it becomes a sweater.
Just one more week before the wedding. I am getting excited.
