My first yoked sweater!

Pleased with it, although the fit feels very different from what I'm used to- there's enough over for a matching cardigan and I'm on a twinset thing at the moment.

Two more completed projects

Top: Cape and hat for American Girl doll
Bottom: Argyle vest for adult male living in London (Israel is too warm for vests)

Done, In Time For The CeaseFire

One soldier's hat: how I wish it would never need to be used, except for ski trips or other recreational purposes.

Serious deadline pressure *Updated*

*Update*
I finished in time (I hope). The sweater is in transit as we speak, and with any luck should reach its destination by the required date: Aug. 29.




This sweater was made from a combination of Creative Library patterns in Style Your Own Kids' Knits by Kate Buller, chosen together with my granddaughter Mermaid Girl during a visit last Spring. Still to be done: attach sleeves, knit hood, sew zipper, weave in a millions loose ends, block. It might not get to Canada in time for Mermaid Girl's 8th birthday, oy!

Back to virtual reality

Well, since I've been back in my version of the real world
not that much knitting's been happening.
I've had to grab a moment wherever I can, as you can see:

I saw this today at an exhibition at the Land of Israel Museum, Tel Aviv. I must find out the name of the artist.
