The magic of blocking

For someone who has never blocked a Finished Object until about a month ago, I am singing its praises! I blocked the back of the sweater and well see for yourself...



So I think I will continue with this project adding the front next and ending with the sleeves. I think it will be a beautiful addition to my holiday wear...a breath of fresh air. We'll see if I get it done in time...

Advice Needed

So this is my current major knitting project and I am not sure how I feel about it, I could use a second, third, fourth, or fifth opinion. It is supposed to be a light airy wrap sweater. I love the color, yarn and design; but I wonder if the stitches are too large and if they look messy. I need to decide if I should keep going. It is surprisingly warm, despite how sheer it looks. So here's another picture, let me know what you think!

Election Day!

I think these kids say it best.



I support one candidate fully but I can respect other peoples thoughts and opinions. These kids are inspiring because it is important to know both sides of the issues and choose the candidate you can most believe in. I think a lot of adults can learn a lesson from these 6th and 7th graders.
