Thank you for sending so many kind thoughts and so much support my way. I appreciate it more than I can say.
The upside of my knitting frenzy is that I actually finished some projects, and my favorite may be the Hitofude cardigan. It's a lightweight, lacy cardigan, and I made mine out of linen so it will be cool enough to wear during our hot Kentucky summers.
This sweater is slip of a thing and so comfortable that I sometimes forget I'm wearing it. It's so comfortable that I wore it every single day the week after I finished it. I tend to wear a t-shirt and jeans or a simple dress--it's my mom uniform--because I don't have time to put much thought into my day-to-day wear. But I do like to feel put together, and the Hitofude does just that. I hope this will be a sweater I can wear for years to come.
This is just lovely. I might have to pop this in the queue. Perfect for an Australian spring/summer too I reckon. So glad your knitting has proved to be a solace...it is a good friend to have.
ReplyDeleteThe cardigan is just lovely! I'm so sorry for your loss. As Elizabeth Zimmermann said, "“Knit on, with confidence and hope, through all crises.”
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love this!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see this cardigan, I fall in love with it all over again. Yours is perfect ~ linen is such a smart choice ~ and I only aspire to knit one just like it ... someday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love this pattern!

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your loss, Allison. My thoughts are with you. And I'm glad you're finding a bit of comforting in knitting. It really is good therapy.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hitofude! Every time I see one, I want to cast on right away. Yours turned out lovely in the linen. I'm definitely keeping that yarn in mind if I ever finally get around to casting on for one!
Adorable! It looks like it will work for you in any situation. So sorry to read of your loss. I know what you are going through and my heart hurts for you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous. That cardigan looks wonderful on you and must feel so good.
