Robyn's Soldier's Sweater

To make buying this book worthwhile, I'm taking on another project pretty quickly. I'm doing the soldier's sweater. I'm using Cascade 220 in a burgundy/brown. It's very economical. I bought it during a sale, and I only spent about $30. I'm also starting a different sweater (the Tilted Duster, not in the book), so it may take me a while to finish both.

For now, here is the yarn:



10/26 -- Last night I finally cast on and did about one-half of one front side. I realized I didn't get one of the needles I need. At least it's under way!

11/12 -- I had forgotten my password, since this blog is attached to my old email address, which my other blogs have been moved from, but it just came to me, so I'll do an update before I forget it again!
I finished one front piece and am half-done with the other. It comes out very tight, but blocking made it much better. I'm not really very motivated for this sweater, so I'm working on it here and there. I found some interesting buttons at my LYS.
