I’m a little behind this year. A lot behind.
An inch of ribbing and two sleeves. My arms are pretty long. I’d better stop blogging and knit.
With houseguests, touring the city and travel to Ohio I didn’t knit the past five days. Uh-oh.
Rhubarb colorway of Winterburn Yarn by Baa Ram Ewe spun and dyed in Yorkshire. The pattern is Purl Code Sweater by favorite knitwear designer Isabell Kraemer.
I’ve knit lots of words into my sweater using Morse Code alphabet.
No names of aristocrats for the guillotine, as the memorable character Madame DeFarge knits in Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities. We had to read it in high school but fifty years later I still remember.
The knitted messages I knit into the sweater are the people I love, place names, favorite lyrics and favorite books from childhood.
All you need is love.
Good luck with your deadline, but the important thing is your beautiful sweater. Love the Morse code details!
Thanks for cheering me on , Pam.
This is a great pattern. Good luck!
Thanks Tish. I think I need your wishes for luck.

Such a gorgeous color, Ruth. Good luck with meeting your deadline. I’m sure you’ll do it. 👏🏻

I think knitting is in and of itself a challenge; to add Morse code into the mix even more so! I’m very proud of you and your beautiful works.

favorite movies ever! And Morse Code knit into the sweater….. no end of wonders!!!!! Have fun at the Party
