Ouache, ça fait de la peine en titi démancher son travail…
En janvier j’ai reçu une invitation à une réception-cadeaux pour une amie qui attend son premier p`tit boutchou, un petit garçon qui va naître en mars. J’ai terminé cette petite veste en deux temps trois mouvements, juste à temps pour la fête…

... que j’ai dû manque grâce à un sacré méchant travail d’école. Non mais franchement, cette histoire de cours commence vraiment à saboter mes efforts de tricot!

As a returning student, I really had to curb the Christmas gift shopping this year. I convinced myself that I would instead knit the Mister a sweater. Only that pesky student-thing also kept me from knitting said-sweater and I ended up wrapping an UFO, complete with a printout of the pattern to reassure him that his gift was not, despite appearances, an oddly-shaped rag. But the holidays were over in a blink, and shortly after classes resumed I started to volunteer at the library during my day off. I knit on the sweater here and there, but eventually ran out of yarn well before it was completed and I had to frog a lot to reinvent a collar that would use much less yarn. I added a contrasting color to make up for the missing tweed yarn and tinkered some more until we came up with this:
I have to admit I’m relieved it’s finished. I love the boy but knitting large sweaters for even taller men takes a bit more time than my attention span permits.
Speaking of knitting for boys, I recently got to knit for a teeny tiny one due in March. I knit on this rather furiously in hopes of finishing it before the baby shower, which I did (just barely!), and then of course had to miss the party due to a considerable group project for school.

Unlike the mister’s sweater though, this one at least will be wrapped and gifted whole :)
