Default FO: 2nd Fair Isle Sweater

Hi Everyone,

It actually snowed in south Mississippi this morning! My boys were so
excited, and soggy. I told #1 that wool stayed warm when it got wet,
so he agreed to pose in his new sweater. It fits better than #2's
does. I improvised the yoke more in #1's as well.

I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm (or cool, whatever
you're comfortable with). I've got a ton going on today, so I better
get to it.

Hugs,

Hesira

Hesira, the sweater AND your son are absolutely darling! He looks
very proud of what you made for him.

Thank you, Shelagh. Both the boys have been wearing their sweaters
all day. I live in a drafty old house, and those sweaters are warm.
I think they both are proud of their new digs.

I just realized that digs means where you live. What I meant was they
love their new threads.

New threads were also once called "duds" so you weren't too far off.

Oh wow, that is beautiful work, Herisa!

Glad your boys enjoyed the snow. They can have as much of ours as they
want! We had more in December alone than the entire winter last year. And
it hasn't slowed down any in January. I am so done with shoveling!!!
