Notes

Blogged here!

The sleeves have a bit of a weird shape. They might look like your man is shrugging his shoulders when he isn’t. :)

A sneaky plan to take B. to the new LYS backfires into him giving me puppy-dog eyes for a new sweater!

Loved this Shepherd’s Wool the second I touched it. Great spin, great softness. Looking forward to seeing how it wears.

The Noro has a big backstory, and I can’t think of a better use for it. Years ago, when B. and I had other lives and were with other people, we were both in Japan on business. We had some time off and went shopping together, making our way through Tokyo based on a list of yarn shops I had. So oddly enough, he was there when I bought it, and even helped me pick the colors! Little did we know we would be married years later. <3
