Lots of stitches on needles now… Adding more every other row to create ‘broad’ shoulders and a ‘manly’ chest!!!

Thanks to Coveted Yarn for sponsoring the yarn!  Did you know Coveted Yarn has moved from East Main Street To The lower level of Shaws Plaza on Eastern Ave.

On the needles…  How does cashmere sound??? Charcoal?

Moving right along… Neckband done… Division for back, front and sleeves…

Moving down over the shoulders… Still unrecognizable as a sweater…

Here’s the original offer which Cindy took me up on-

I’d like a lg mens merino wool sweater in the style above minus the Charlie Brown pattern color heather grey or charcoal.  Any knitters up for it?  Your picture on the blog and the yarn shop that wants to donate the yarn will get my time posting about the process.

Here’s where I saw the pattern but you might have a classic crew neck sweater pattern we could look at too.

Harbor Extremes From Bill O’Connor

Hi Joey,

The wind was whipping from the North through the outer harbor Sunday. Our cove was on the leeward side of the wind so it was relatively calm in the cove, but this shot shows how quickly things can change from one extreme to another on the water.  The distance from the dock in the foreground to the dock on left of the photo [getting hammered by wind & waves] is about the length of a football field.

Enjoy!

The Gloucester School Committee, in conjunction with the West Parish PTO, encourages members of the community to join them for a special meeting on Wednesday, December 4, 2013 at 6:30 p.m. at the West Parish Auditorium.  The meeting will serve two purposes, to be given an update on the progress of the new school building design and to provide an update on the “swing” school space during construction. 

In addition, members of the community are also encouraged to attend the annual State of the Schools Presentation on Thursday, December 5th at the Gloucester High School Lecture Hall at 7:00 p.m.  Superintendent Safier and members of the administration will conduct this presentation.
