Cow Parade

And then the frogs came…

Day 5, The #CowParade Project
3 skeins of handspun wool donated by a neighbor

Yesterday began with a neighbor dropping off a few skeins of wool in natural colors that she had been given and that had been spun by someone in a neighboring town.

I’m looking forward to incorporating it into the sweater!

I didn’t have a lot of knitting time yesterday because Thursdays are my days at the community pottery studio where I’m the glaze making tech. But I knew I could make up for it today, as we had a longish car ride.

The dreaded mistake to be frogged back

And I was knitting away when I realized I’d made an error. 2 rows back. Sigh.

Frogging work is always annoying, but not ripping out mistakes is even worse. Even though my cow wouldn’t notice,  I would.

First motif complete! Chickens!

Luckily, there was a Red Sox game tonight because I do some of my best knitting during games. The Red Sox may have lost in a blowout, but I now have 8 inches of the cow sweater completed!

Tomorrow, I do another yoke increase and start motif number two.
