The program for November 28 is a steek project using the DIY Norwegian Teddy Bear Sweater pattern. The Dale Heilo yarn mentioned in the pattern is a dk weight wool.
I'd like to cut the steeks at the meeting, so that means we have some homework to do. We need to knit the body and the sleeves before the meeting. The body is 35 rows over 80 stitches and the sleeves are 22 rows over 44 stitches. Both are knit in the round. Use a sewing machine to reinforce the area before we cut.
The sweater is really cute. I found if you click on the pictures in the pattern, you will get a larger image of the chart, etc. I also put the chart in Excel for my mature eyesight. If you need a copy, let me know.

OK- who's bringing the sewing machine?
EEEK! Oh well, Duckie REALLY needs a sweater...
You can sew it here, or I can bring mine.
Looks like I have lots of homework...brown bag creation plus steeks project. Good thing the meeting is now after T-giving. I hope to have lots of good knitting time over the long holiday weekend.
I had 4 kids here this afternoon and decided to work on it anyway. Duckie won't mind a different pattern, right? As long as it's the right length?
