A Knitting Affair

The Tree Jacket is now started, well okay, it officially was started last weekend but I am making steady progress on it. I am currently working on US 7’s and black malabrigo. The 7’s make the stitches quite tight/stiff but I know that this yarn stretches and pills (as most single ply yarns do) and I don’t want that to happen with this sweater. Progress so far:

Also, this morning on tv there was an add for barbie – did you know that you can get her in her work clothes? She is only a secretary. You would think in this day and age we would see barbie be an executive. I could rant about it but I will save that for something more deserving.
