So here’s my version of Gramps. The pattern calls for pockets and elbow patches, and while I’m usually a huge fan of pockets, I didn’t think this colorful yarn needed anymore busy-ness.
The Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted is incredibly soft. It feels wonderful against the skin, but I’m going to have to see how it works out in the wearing. I like at least a little bit of sturdiness in a cardigan yarn, and this might fall into the not-quite-enough category. Time will tell.

We have the cutest house guest ever! This is Shanti, and she’s staying with us while her mom and dad are on a cruise. Most of the pictures I take of her look like this one.
The only time she’s still is when it’s time to concentrate on the respiratory system.
She’s an excellent student.
Congratulations on Gramps! I love that collar. It looks perfectly comfortable!
Thank you, thank you! 🙂
WOW! I love it, it looks great! What a fun pattern the color makes! Great job!!
Thank you so much, Dorothea!! About half way through it, I was really doubting the color, so I’m relieved it came out okay!
Gramps looks great on! I want to make something with elbow patches at some point. And that little fluffball of a dog is adorable.
Oh, my gosh! You’d love her! She and Lola are in a nonstop flurry of play ALL THE TIME! She’s going to be here until next weekend, so we’ll see if they ever get tired. Lol!
