Kathy has been knitting a sweater for Vivian. She has been working on it for a couple of months now. It is unusual in the way it is knit, which is from the top down, instead of from the bottom up. Kathy said this is the first sweater she has knit since she was in nursing school and she knit two sweaters. It has been a bit of a challenge with some of the complex parts. The sweater is also being knit on circular needles - they are connected by a plastic line. She has knit some parts and then has had to undo the stitching and re-do that section. My sister Betsey helped with some advice at one point. The sleeves are knit along with the body of the sweater, and not separately. She is now at the bottom and has to do the ribbing, and then, off to Miss Vivian!
The sweater looks beautiful. Knitting takes a lot of patience. I have tried it a couple of times, but I will stick with my one crochet hook and one stitch at a time.
