Afghan for Zach

I needed a big project to work on this winter so I text my nephew and ask if he needed an afghan as a house warming gift.  He purchased his first home in the fall of 2020. He said sure and approved the color and pattern.  It was a good project to work on especially during the ice/ snow storm in February.  The pattern is Charette by Julie Turjoman.  The yarn is Valley Yarns Haydenville Bulky in light gray. It took me approx 2 months to knit working on it in the evenings while I watched TV.  The finished size is approx 55 in X 74 in.  My nephew is well over 6 ft tall.

Small Dog Sweater

As mentioned in my last post I have continued to knit and quilt during my unintended hiatus.  I knit this dog sweater for a friend's approx 5 lb dog in January.  I don't recall the pattern and will have to search for it if I ever want to make the dog another sweater.  It was a perfect use of some leftover bulky yarn.
