This is the Double Breasted Seed Stitch Jacket, from Exercise Before Knitting. Baby-in-law is due in August, and I’m going to have a gaggle of baby sweaters ready. I’m still considering making a baby blanket - I’m afraid that I’m catching a bit of the miter fever that’s going around.

This sweater contains my first, real, live buttonholes - the double-YO action of the Asymmetrical Cardigan don’t count. I’m feeling the need to knit up a buttonhole-comparison swatch, you know, just because.

A swatch for the Spring Things Shawl, which I started for reals last night. I guess the Tess Laceweight was the first of the bunch to get balled up and knit. Beware - this yarn bleeds like a mofo when I blocked the swatch. It looked like a shark attacked my swatch. Like a knifefight in the sink. Insert your own simile here.

I’m planning on making a slight change to the pattern. If you take a look at the pattern photo, you can see a distinct line between the main body pattern and the edge pattern. I’m going to make more of a transition between the two charts - if you look at the left half of the swatch above, you’ll see that transition, while the right half is knit to-pattern. Clicky on the swatchy if you like, there’s boxes describing the action more clearly.

I have finished the Airy-whatever, but no photoshoot yet. I wore it to MDSW for about an hour - it was hot in that MD sun! Or maybe it was the frenzy for yarn that caused me to ditch whatever extra layers I had for additional mobility.
