Texas Knitter

Nippy air! This is what Texas knitters wait for, sweating under skeins of wool the other 9 months of the year. Of course the fact that I’m decked out in scarves, hats, and mittens and it’s only 68 degrees may make me a baby, but those knits are finally getting some play!

This is one I knit a few years ago from a great pattern book. Knit for a wedding, it isn’t too overpowering in mildly cool weather, so I pulled it out for church this morning. Who would ever guess the pattern book cost more than the sweater. The mohair blend yarn was from a chain hobby store and just a few bucks a skein. Good deal, Lucille.
