The nice thing about a driving trip is that I get a lot of knitting done. Usually I bring socks or another small project. This time I am making the Artemisia Sweater from Craftsy. I must have bought this class during one of the sales since it looked very cute. I also know that no matter how good I am at a craft, I can always learn something new.
Webs was having a sale on their own worsted wool, and I found a color I like. I think I was a little beyond this stage when we started driving.
Before you know it, I had finished the lace section. Don’t worry, it will look much better once I block it.
As you can see, I made a lot of progress. It was fun to knit in a coffee shop in Cloverdale and have a group of ladies admire my work. Knitting is always a conversation starter.
I was even able to try it on.
Body is done and I’ve started on one of the sleeves. 
With the same lace detail on the pocket.
One of the things that intrigued me about this sweater was how the sleeves are set in, not raglan. I love a good top down sweater pattern and this is definitely one! I have seen other designers come up with their own method of creating the set in sleeve, which means more fun sweater knitting for me.
So now I just have to finish the sleeves, do a little bit of sewing and then block it! Then hope for some cool weather so I can actually wear this.
