It’s a finished object report.
My mom made the hat, and I did the sweater. The yarn is Auracania Nature Wool Chunky in color 120. The pattern is my own, an unpattern, really. Gauge x desired circumference= cast on. Knit sweater. The bands are seed stitch. One new trick I tried was to do the neck shaping with short rows, and I really like how that came out. It will be a standard in my knitter’s bag of handy tricks.
Time to update the side bar 
I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian, a knitter and a blogger. I've been knitting since December of 2000, and I knit all. the. time. I knit professionally for several years, but have become so busy that I only work on consignment now. I have also taught several knitting classes. I do all my knitting with two sticks and some string, and do not even own a knitting machine. I also crochet quite a bit, and used to embroider, cross-stitch and needlepoint. I have other non-fiber related hobbies as well.

That sweater is soooooooo pretty!:)
Very pretty. I love how that color knit up! I’m always surprised by nature wool’s beauty
I like the hat pretty much, too
And, yes, I will definately be doing more nature wool.
Hello Cass,
My sock-pal-2-zaa socks just arrived today including the lovely buttons and the great fragrance. The socks fit perfectly. I’ll post about them on the weekend sometime but I wanted to come over and send you a quick note of Thanks.
Our due dates seem to be very close based on your ticker. Must be barely a week apart? (Feb 18 for me).
The blue cardigan you just showed on the blog is very cute.
Take care
Uli
Oh, Uli, I am so glad they got there. I’ve been visiting (stalking) your blog anxiously. I know the post sometimes gets held up at the border, and I was hoping yours would not be caught in mail limbo forever. Glad you like everythihg, and enjoy!
