A New Knitter

I work for a small consulting company in Washington, DC. This company, although for-profit, is more touchy-feely than some non-profits I have worked for. I'm saying this so that when I post photos (below) of our office masseur, you'll know where I'm coming from! Anyway, one Friday, Steven came to our office (he comes every other Friday), and I was wearing a cardigan I made. This particular cardigan is very sheepy, as it is made from a light color of Rowan Big Wool. It made quite an impression on him, so he decided to learn how to knit.

Here he is, wearing his first project:




This is made from some sort of Noro, maybe Kochoran. Here's a closeup:

As his next project, he would like to make a cabled sweater. I say, go for the gusto! Steven, you are awesome!

In addition to Steven, it's very cool because there are at least three people at my small company who want to learn how to knit. Even better, our newest staffer P. is a knitter. So, we can both teach people! Our office already has a book club, and P. suggested maybe we alternate reading with knitting. Excellent idea!

Not too much else going on. You may recall I mentioned a hat (and scarf) that needed to get made and mailed - well, I punted. I bought a gift basket instead! Sometimes you just need to say, enough with the hand-made gifts. There's always birthdays, and next year's holiday season!

Happy holidays, everyone and safe travels!
