It has been a busy summer!

I didn't think that I had much time to knit but then I realised that I had completed not one but two sweaters...large sweaters.

This is my Camelot Coat....also known as Spamalot. It was knit longer than it needed to be and then fulled in the dryer. Fulling is always a scary proposition. Many, many hours of knitting can be shrunk beyond hope in minutes. Fortunately, that was not the case with this sweater. Fulling it made the stitches tighter and the fabric warmer.

I also finished my top down Swing Coat. I'm so happy that I listened to the advice of my Knitting Friends (although I complained bitterly about it when I was getting close to the end) and knit an extra three inches onto the length.

There is one more button to be sewn onto it. I forgot that I had knit 7 buttonholes instead of 6, went back to Make 1, bought another button and then put it someplace safe. I will find it eventually.

I have two sweaters to wear now that the weather has turned cooler . It's almost as if I had planned for things to turn out this way.
I didn't. I started both sweaters with the idea that I would finish them eventually....next year even. I'm glad my plan was altered.

We had a wedding. Some elements were traditional,

and some were not !

Last Thursday, I decided that I needed to knit a sweater for my Muffin, and bought the yarn.
Friday, I borrowed the pattern and people told me I was crazy (big surprise there). Friday night we had the rehearsal dinner at my house.

Saturday was the wedding. I thought about taking my knitting but realised that it would not be a good idea.

Sunday morning we had a brunch at the house and said goodbye to the out-of-town rellies.

Sunday night. I finally got to start the sweater.

Monday. Stupid cell phones gave up the ghost and we spent valuable knitting time sitting in the Telus store.

Tuesday morning.

We left for the airport at 9:30
