Unfinished object – I need help to get the sleeves fitting neatly – and I need to work on the neck
Another unfinished object – it’s easier to work on this puzzle than to figure out what I have to do with my knitting

Update On My Knitting February 25, 2017
I am knitting a brown sweater, sort of making it up as I go along. I like the color and the wool – Rauma Strikkegarn (www.raumaull.no) – Norwegian of course. I have knit the front and the back and both sleeves. Now i’m in the process of joining the 2nd sleeve to the body of the sweater. This is somewhat difficult to make a smooth seam. Next will be to complete the upper part of the sweater. I’m thinking of doing a simple pattern.
this is a sweater which I knit from the top down following instructions in an old knitting book published in Norway in 1975. The simple design using the contrasting colors is mine.
A more elaborate pattern – my first “Norwegian” sweater, knit in 1970’s.
Blue Yarn, Sweaters, and Travel Memories December 11, 2016
I have previously written about the blue yarn which I purchased at a little sop in the Aran Islands,which are located off the West Coast of Ireland. I bought a good amount of this yarn and a sweater pattern. When it finally came to the knitting, I used a different pattern for one and found I had almost enough of that lovely yarn for another sweater.
Sweater 1, I sort of made up the design 
Sweater 2 yes it is the same yarn but the selfie photo was taken in different lighting.
I should really get a photo of the 2 sweaters side by side.

That lanyard around my neck isn’t for a panic button! It’s for my mailbox key!
The sweater I’m wearing is one of my hand knits. The blue wool yarn was purchased in the Aran Islands Ireland. I knit the sweater from the top down following an idea in a knitting book published in Norway in 1975. That was one of the first knitting books I ever purchased. How I found it I do not know but somehow I did when we first moved to Dublin in the late 1960’s.
Here am I age 11 with my father’s mother (Grandma Miller) when she was 85. How will I look at that age – assuming I get there.
Searching For A Nice Brown Yarn October 12, 2016
On my recent trip to Glastonbury Connecticut I visited 2 yarn stores – Village Wool in Glastonbury and Mystic River Yarns in Mystic Connecticut. I just like looking for yarn and knitting – not sure what project or projects will result. I bought 2 different browns and thought about knitting a sweater. I prefer the “richer” brown – but my sample knitting has too few stitches to be continued as a sweater. The lighter brown sample has enough stitches……so, what should I do? I’m thinking!
