Now, if I could just remember where I put my knitting needles 
I have one big set with all the sizes, which sounds smart until you misplace it…

That looks like a perfect sweater for anyone!
I just downloaded it…I have a goddaughter that loves anything handmade. She would love that short style sweater!

It’s a really pretty sweater and a thoughtful gift, @Immaculata - I hope you can find your needles soon!
I finished the not-a-Christmas-present baby blanket, so I can resume with the Christmas knitting.

Thank you! I really enjoyed the rhythm of the little cable stitches. I hope my DNe and his wife like it, too. Their baby shower is tomorrow.

Did they like it?? I bet they did, it’s such a nice gift. I really like classic projects in neutral colours like this, it can become a family heirloom that way. They’re not tied to a specific gender or fashion trends.
I found my needles, but I haven’t started knitting properly. I almost never knit swatches but I’m glad I did now, because the swatch ended up being a very different size than expected and now I need to math.
I have been re-watching Downton Abbey lately, and watched the Christmas special today. I’m extra in the mood for Christmas crafting now! I watched it when the series first came out, and I heard the last film will be in cinemas next month. In 6 weeks or so, Mr. Imma will be on a work trip and I’ll be home alone for a bit. I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve been in a cinema in the past 10 years, but it sounds like a nice treat. But I’ve totally forgotten what the series was about so it’s a good thing it’s on Netflix!

Thanks! The gift portion of the baby shower was a little different than we traditionally do it… everything was unwrapped and on display. It means more time to socialize and play games, less pressure for the mom be the center of attention while opening gifts. Kinda nice, really, since everyone still gets to see all the goodies and the party never slows down. I know she appreciates handknits, since that is a tradition in her family as well, and this was very much her style.

Wow! That blanket is gorgeous!! And I love that “open present” concept for a party.

Thank you! I would definitely recommend the pattern - free, classic style, easy without being boring. (It ended up about 40" square, using just under 1000m of worsted weight yarn.)
