hello august!

I literally used to blame being so busy on my kids. And their schedules that kept me on my toes.  However, life has shifted and I feel that I am busier than ever.  Or certainly as busy as I was when they were young!  

I started the Freestyle Shirt on May 25.  I finished it on June 26.  It is August 4 (my eleven year wedding anniversary!) and I am just posting this!  Holy cow!
 
I can honestly say that I will only knit with black yarn during the summer months.  When the light is bright and long.  And, preferably when I am outside!  
I had been wanting to knit this sweater since last summer when it was released.  So grateful I finally did!
The neck detail is my favorite.  It reminds me of the raw edge of a sweatshirt neckband.

Pattern:  Freestyle Shirt
Yarn:  Onling no. 21  Holding two strands together.  12 balls black.
Needles:  US 5/3.75 mm
Size:  Small  (124 st cast on)
Mods:  Long sleeve instead of short!  The fabric is a bit heavy to be a short sleeve.  So, I made it long sleeve!  And I do believe it was a wise decision.  It's like a sweatshirt and I have been wearing it so much!  I LOVE it!
