I have declared the next twenty-four hours as "My Day Off". It's an official holiday for me and I'm officially taking it off. Other than a medical appointment, I don't have any plans. A walk? Maybe. If it doesn't rain. Spinning? Oh, yes! Knitting? Of course!
I finished this little neck down sweater for a friend's son. I added the slip stitch colored pattern around the middle. Since photographing it, I've woven in the ends. I just have to sew on the grey buttons.
The slip stitch looks as good on the wrong side as it does on the right side, doesn't it?
I've been contemplating knitting a cap to match. On my day off.
How fun and what a delightful day off. I love the colors. They look similar to the colors of my prince and princess.
ReplyDeleteGo and knit the Hat. I agree.
Such beautiful work Willow! Enjoy your 24 hours :0)

It's pouring buckets up here in Topanga today.
Enjoy your day off!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a gorgeous sweater! And I love your plans for the day -- they sound a lot like my own. Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is so cute! I love it. Hope your day off is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely colours!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a thoroughly enjoyable day off!!
Enjoy your day off! I love your work, it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is wonderful, Willow! I like the color combination and easy style. This will be loved! :o) A cap is a good idea! Sundays...a day off at our house too. We always take Sunday at a more leisurely pace and sure to delve into all things we enjoy. I was knitting too! Thanks for you uplifting comment at my place--very encouraging. I had to let our cat write my post...my brain is snow-logged from all the snow just now--LOL! Happy Days ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful sweater. I love the idea of taking a day off. Sometimes, it's necessary.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! You inspire me to keep practicing...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'll do too when I relax except I can't knit so I'll sew! Knitting is harder I think so you're super!
ReplyDeleteHI Willow! Remember those bright orange felted purses you made and gave to us? How about those blue felted hats for winter?? Have and wear them all, and Nariloo especially loves playing dress up with her little purses. When you gave them to us, I never thought I'd have another little girl to share them with :)
ReplyDeleteWhat talent!
ReplyDeleteAnd how was your holiday?
Ah, you master knitter, you! Excellent work!! Have a swell day off and good luck with the medical appointment.
ReplyDeleteI hope your enjoyed your day off and didn't get rained on too much. Your sweater is so pretty. It kind of reminds me of those Bohus sweaters..the blue color and the stitch.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your day off! It's extra special at this time of year, when they are so few and far between.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful work!! Thank you so much for your comments. I knew you would pray and that means so much to me!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your knitting is perfection! I'm in awe! And congrats on your self-declared day off!!!!! YAY!
ReplyDeleteCindy
I may well have kept up knitting if I did it as well as you.
