Work continues on the sheepiest cardigan ever.
That pile of knitting is approximately 8 inches on the back and both fronts. (It’s knit in one piece). The only saving grace of this knit is that it is chunky, so those rows, even though they are long, add up fast. I’m trying to make the commitment to knit a ball of yarn into it each week.
I’m just about to start ball number three, and if I can keep this pace up, it will be well on its way to being done in time for fall.
“Hey Mom, this thing smells. Maybe you should put it in the tub with Peno next time you give her a bath…”
Don’t tempt me Burton….
As soon as it is done, the first thing its getting is a long wash in some Euclan.
Stinky yarn – lol. Love the color!

Burton does seem a bit put out about the smell. LOL

That is just the cutest little bundle of floof I have ever seen. Oh, and yeah, the knitting, it’s nice. LOL, sorry, just can’t resist that Burton.

What always surprises me, is items that didn’t stick BEFORE being put in the wash, but when wet…pee-you!

Wow….that is something. I love the smell of dirty fleece-when I am outside getting ready to wash it. I don’t think I could knit with it so close to my face though.

Love the color, but I’m sure the smell is overwhelming. You might have to start wearing a mask while knitting.

Regardless of the smell, it is looking beautiful. I can’t decide if Burton’s look is mystified or intrigued.

Burton sure does looks a bit confused by that sweater. Maybe he’s trying to figure out if he should kill it?! lol. I do like the color and it will be perfect this fall.
Blessings,
