This, That & Some Others

 I haven't posted for a while so what have I been doing well as the title says This, That & some others so here goes

Just finished a Aran Sweater for DH, when I did this didn't think it was going to fit I think that while it came to size his shoulders would be the next size anyway I washed it & it has dropped slightly plus just eased as he said it was a bit tight going over his head but after the wash it don't I would do the next size when I do another one for him but in no rush lol

  1. I've been thinking about you and it's so good to see a post. The sweater is gorgeous, and I love the potholders. I'm going to have to look for the book; I love the mug rug on the cover.

  2. What a nice post Janice.
    The Aran sweater is lovely. What a shame it is a bit on the small side.
    Love all the bits and pieces you've been making and you've given me some ideas as our quilt group is doing a fundraiser at the end of May and I need to make some things.
    I think potholders would sell well.
    Knitted dishcloths too.
    The fabric baskets are lovely. Might try some of those also.
    I am going to check the link for the mug rug book. It looks like one I'd like to have in my library.
    Hugs,
    Margaret
