Kniting knitting knitting

This will be a boring post.  I've been doing nothing but knitting lately.  Remember this?


Well that has turned into this.


Can you tell what it is?  It's a top down turtleneck sweater, turtleneck up at the top, sleeves on either side waiting to be knitted, body in progress.  It's the Lightweight Pullover sweater by Knitbot.  I'm knitting it in Verdant Gryphon Bugga in American Rubyspot.

I did do another Fussy Cut Friday star too.


This time I used a fabric from the Michael Miller blue and white collection.

Here are a couple of pictures of Mia to liven things up.

Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi.  I hope everyone has a great week.

  3. Ha, that's what you call a boring post? No, it isn't, it's very interesting to see that sweater grow, and very interesting to see that you started it on the top and are knitting it downwards. And you have another star finished. I'm looking forward to seeing them all together.

    I love the rich colors in your sweater!
    I have a top-down cardigan wip around somewhere that I need to finish. I always have problems finding buttons though.
    Stay warm!

  16. Mia always looks on the small side to me. The photo of her taken from the rear makes her looks huge (and her head so small). Just goes to show you butt shots don't flatter any living creature!

    You know I LOVE your sweater!

  31. You are making awesome progress on your pullover. I adore that colorway and while I have several skeins of Bugga stashed - nothing has been "buggaworthy" as yet. I'm curious where you found sweater quantities of bugga? Love your swan block - how gorgeous ! enjoyed visiting your non-boring blog - Mel
