Maybe I’ll make another…

The Cobblestone I’m making for my brother-in-law is finished.  BUT, I don’t think I like it.  It’s too “rough”.  The Briggs I used is the right size yarn but, I think it’s just too 100% wool. 

I washed the sweater last night in some Eucalan (it’s wool soap) and let it soak for a bit.  It’s softer, thank goodness, but I still don’t think I like it.  Bad choice of yarn.  It was bound to happen at some point – I had to make a bad yarn choice eventually.

Jacob seems to like it!  It’s a little big on him though right?

So, I don’t know if I should give it to him anyway or make another, nicer, softer version of this sweater.

I also made (or attempted to make) a camera case for my father.  I wanted to felt it so that it would be extra-thick.  Turns out it’s pretty big.  So, I can either make a new one or cut into this one, which will totally ruin the flow of it.  OK, new one.

I finished putting the finishing touches on my February Lady last night.  I’ll be wearing it to work today.  Sharon asked me to wear either my FL or my Olive.   I’ve already worn my Olive a few times so, FL it is.  Hope I don’t get any strange looks!  Hahaha.

I’m off for the weekend.  Third weekend in a row!  That hasn’t happened since…. well, I honestly can’t remember.  It’s not for lack of them asking me.  I was gone to NYC the first weekend.  It was Jacob’s birthday last weekend.  This weekend is still young!
