It’s another Sunday and a special one in my house as today is also our 7th wedding anniversary. (I’ve made him three sweaters in 7 years. I think that’s pretty good right?)
On to the knitting. It’s been a busy cast on week for me. That’s a really polite way to say that I went a little bit nuts with startitis. I’ve started working on the design for the rest of my husband’s Christmas gift. (I’m writing it down as I go. It will be available after Christmas as a free pattern if you want to make it too.) Charee and the weekend slippers both for my mum have been started. The rest of the minion army is going to be making an appearance soon, and My Vampire Boyfriend has been added to the list and cast on. So things look like this. I’ve reached the point when I have to switch my knitting to at least %90 holiday gift knitting. so wish me many FO’s soon.

Happy anniversary, I think seven jumpers is very impressive. I have never made my hubby a jumper, but then I think he worries that my colour choices would be dubious looking at my attic 24 leanings!
I have been thinking Christmas too, but haven’t much further, I must be better organised!

Happy Anniversary and 3 sweaters in 7 years is pretty good going, especially as I’ve knit none for my hubby in 11 years rofl.
I’ve started on the Christmas gift, just hoping there is enough time to do them all now.

Happy anniversary! Three jumpers is pretty good going I think. Mine won’t wear jumpers (any jumpers not just homemade ones), and I think it’s going to be a while before he lets me make him anything. I get to but yarn now for my Christmas presents which is exciting, but I can’t decide what colours to get everyone…

I really admire how you’re stickin’ to your list! Hope to see some photos of all your WIPs.

Three sweaters in seven years is VERY good! Lucky guy!

Happy anniversary to you both. 3 in 7 is great ….. I think I made my late DH one sweater in the 31 years we were married.
Not that I didn’t want to – its just that I’m a very ordinary knitter who really needs to improve her skills !!

Happy anniversary — a sweater for every year? That is awesome.

Thank you for visiting my blog. That’s an incredible list! I’d be lucky if I get to touch 10% of that.
