It’s the best of both worlds. I can promote my wares without being a total blog whore. I love Lov.li.
Okay well maybe it makes me just a little bit of a blog hussy. But that’s okay isn’t it? Has a certain ring to it:

Sure and why not?
On the bright side, being offline gave me plenty of time to start (and finish) a sweater for the girl-child.
It’s a gray 4-ply spindle spun merino yarn, 5 stitches per inch. Mostly from the size 30″ child’s raglan pattern from “the knitter’s handy book of sweater patterns” by Ann Budd. I was sort of on the fence when I originally bought the book, the deciding factor for purchase was that the cover was slightly damaged and it was deeply discounted at the craft store, now I think I appreciate it much more after actually using it a couple of times.
It might not be a big deal to most knitters, but I use my handspun most of the time, so it’s really nice to have a pattern that is based on gauge and not on brand x.
Lexi is really thrilled with the sweater, so much so that I couldn’t get it back from her in order to wash and block it, or for that matter take a nice macro shot of the cable detail on the raglan shaping. Thankfully I was smart enough to weave in the ends before having her try it on.
I must spin more yarn. Must knit more cute sweaters for darling children.
