Merry Christmas!

By the time you read this, I will most likely have one less sweater in my cedar chest (and a whole bunch of newly washed skeins of Debbie Bliss Merino Aran hanging up to dry).

I loved knitting this sweater. The cables were huge fun, the yarn squooshy and perfect, and the details of the design delightful. It went very fast, at this nice big gauge, and it came out exactly as advertised … which may be the problem.

It’s an in-between length, falling right at hip level – too short for a tunic, too long to wear with jeans. And the wonderful heavy yarn makes it more than warm – I’ve never been able to wear it for a whole day. It would make so much more sense to recycle the yarn for a cardigan.

Have I convinced you yet? I’m still a little nervous, so maybe I’ll sleep on it another night before pulling the plug.

Thank you for the seed we eat
Thank you for the needs you meet
Thank you for the rain and snow
Thank you til the time we go
