With my Web Spinner tiring me out to the point that I've lost my motivation, to the Basketweave Pullover with the dozen pattern row repeats and a chart to follow, I was getting disheartened by my WIPs. Don't get me wrong, I have made progress. I mustered through the back of Web Spinner and finished it but haven't yet cast on for the fronts. I also am finally past the armhole decreases on the back piece of the Basketweave, if only we went on more road trips (with two kids, maybe not).
At any rate, for a while I have been thinking of ways to use up some extra skeins of Cascade 128 left over from a cardigan I knit myself several years ago. I decided that an easy toddler-sized sweater knit it bulky yarn would be a treat and so it has been so far.
I envision it as a raglan, shawl-collared pullover, though in researching patterns on Ravelry it looks like there is a neat asymmetrical neck opening off of the raglan that might be a reasonable design alternative. I basically making it up as I go along and it has been truly satisfying to be whipping this garment out. The kids have been keeping me so busy that I hardly have time to think let alone knit. You should see me trying to steal snatches of in-between times to knit even part of a row.
