yarn along: a little distracted

Have you been unable to focus lately, too?  

I cast on for a sweater yesterday, one that's been in my queue for a few years now.  After knitting the bottom edging and about an inch of the body, I didn't like the fabric or the size.  I'm starting over today, going up a sweater size and down a needle size. It's a free pattern, and I'm using Léttlopi that I got on sale at my favorite yarn shop, The Woolly Thistle, instead of the recommended Plötulopi.  I think the Léttlopi will wear better, especially at the elbows. Most of my projects lately have been fingering weight, so this is moving much more quickly.

T's co-op teacher had a baby last week, so I made Baby Abe a bonnet with some of the leftovers from my sweater.  It's so soft and squishy!

Since it's so hard to focus on much, Freddy has been a comforting read.  I continue to make progress in Joan of Arc and Pearl of Great Price, but in a very absent-minded way.  I'll probably need to re-read both at a later date.  And The Wreath on Audible accompanies me as I do chores; it's excellent.

Continue to be well, friends!
