Friday Roundup: An FO and Spring Rolls!

What I’m Knitting

I finished all the knitting on the little nautical sweater (mark 2)! Here’s my son testing the fit. This is pre-blocking, so the white stripe won’t pull up as much in the center as it does here.

I’m going to be blocking the sweater this weekend and then whipping the pattern into shape for testing next week. (PSA: If you’d be interested in testing one of the sizes, join my Ravelry group where I post all my tests! You can even sign up to be notified when I have a new test up so you get first dibs.)

What I’m Cooking

Thanks to a dreadful cold that knocked me out for several days, I didn’t get much cooking done this week. I did manage some rice, lentil, and kale soup:

    Your little boy is so cute! And I love the sweater! What size are you going to go up to? I’m tempted to make one for me five year-old. :)

      I usually size my baby/child patterns up to about 8-10 years—hopefully that’s big enough for you!

    Both your sweater and your son are adorable.
    Those spring rolls look amazing.

    Your son IS adorable. And the sweater he’s sporting is beautiful. And your spring roll picture – I can almost taste the yumminess. :)
