I finished my Turtledove (Rav project page) and I love it. I was inspired to make it because Liz made two, she loves to wear hers so much. It was an easy, quick, straightforward knit, which I enjoy. And it’s my favorite color. Pattern is Turtledove by Espace Tricot (Rav link). Yarn is Cascade Eco in color Twilight.
I removed the background in this photo because it was taken on carpet. Let’s have some fun with that.
There are many more fun things I could do with this sweater, like turn it into an Asteroids ship or have it rocketing to the moon, but that takes a lot of time and I would rather knit. Well maybe just one…
I needed that. Here’s a photo of the underarm seams.
Not gorgeous but much better than I could do picking up stitches. I cast on six stitches on the sleeve side and used a mattress stitch to seam them.
Now I’m off to knit knit knit on my Water Shawl, and hopefully take a walk in nature this afternoon. What are you doing today?

Looks really good. Not doing much to be honest but had a busy day yesterday!

I like mattress stitch. That’s what I used to seam up my booties.
Your sweater is lovely, and it seems to have lifted your mood. Beautiful and fun photos.

It always looks so weird a shape when not on so I thought your backgrounds were very entertaining, especially the rocket…hilarious. It really does look great on you.

I’m so glad you took precious knitting time to play with backgrounds – your sweater as comet streaking through the sky is great! Today I did simple chores, went to visit Mom for a couple of hours, wove in ends on a set of knit coasters, did a little knitting, will do a little more when I’ve caught up on e-mail!

It is just beautiful, and really lovely on you! Love the background (AND alliteration) fun! I don’t know what I’m doing today. It will definitely involve some knitting. How much? It remains to be seen 🙂

I thought my favorite would be the sweater on sheep until I caught sight of the shooting sweater. That just made my day!
