a new school year is calling, and I'm filling with anticipation. I get a "wipe the chalkboard clean" kind of feeling as we approach september. I've got the need to: tie up loose ends; get things in order; check a few more things off my summer do list; and start the school year fresh. so it's in that spirit that I'm using august as a wrap up month. there will be a few projects I've been meaning to share, completing projects that have been on my mind all summer, and savoring the last bits of time with the boys. first up...a neighborly wrap up.
Yarn: Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted, Chocolate Souffle- 2 skeins and Noro Kureyon, #156- 2 skeins,
Needles: US 8 circulars, US 8 double point needles for armholes, US 6 circular for neck ribbing
Size: Large
Mods: I wanted to lengthen the sweater a bit, so before starting the noro striping, I completed the neck ribbing and armholes to ensure I had enough chocolate yarn. I then added length to the body of the sweater with all my remaining lamb's pride yarn.

This sweater is absolutely gorgeous!!! I can only imagine how wonderful it feels all knit up with Lamb's Pride. Great work!
What a great-looking sweater! You have to be quite proud of this accomplishment. But I completely understand about the loose-ends. It seems like time is a-wasting and summer will be over so soon. Good luck finishing up those projects.
I know exactly what you mean about the Noro! It can keep even the longest stretches of stocking stitch interesting - yours has striped up beautifully here!
it looks wonderful...love the beautiful job that you did. I also love how you're using August as a wrap up month. You're so right about the start of school feeling like a fresh start. Can't wait to see all you completed projects.
Looks wonderful! Great for end of summer and this fall. Good luck getting all your loose ends tied up.
I love it! So, so great! And isn't Noro just so fun--I love watching the colors change as I knit!
I love the sweater. I'm chuckling at myself because I am in the dog days of summer. Just dawdling around. Exactly the opposite of you. I'll wait till Sept and then kick into gear. I hope.
So cute! You're such a great knitter -- lovely work!
Blessings,
