blocking | christmas in july.

Despite having knit this sweater at the end of the summer (getting ahead on Christmas gifts!), I finally got around to wet blocking it this past weekend.Isn't it a beauty? Tanis Lavallee has the best patterns; easy to follow, cool techniques, and beautiful end results.The Christmas in July sweater was no exception. I absolutely want to cast on another one. This version is for my 4 year old nephew (I envision it as one of his go-to ski sweaters when he hits the slopes this winter) and now I want to make one for his little brother and myself.Endless color combinations. Have you knit one? If not, you should. What's more, this version I did was a complete stash buster. If you have odds and ends of mostly used sock yarn and the like, this is the perfect project to eat away at those bits.Finished snaps, soon.
