Turtleneck Sweater Knit

It is cool out there this morning. We awoke to -14C or 7F. The coldest we have experienced in Nova Scotia. There is snow on the ground but it should be gone as there is warm temperatures and rain in the forecast. 

Lifestyle

We have been busy most days trying to get items purchased. We have also been to Grandson's Christmas concert and his programing class's show. There are at least 4 more outings before the end of the year as the other Grandparents are coming for Christmas. One is Surf and Turf on Dec. 23 and another Grandson's soccer game on Dec. 27. Add Christmas eve and day and we will be wanting to catch our breath come January. 

Knitting

I knit Anna, my new doll, a sweater and it fits her perfectly. I need to crochet a loop for the turtleneck part and then block it. 
She loves the casual vibe of the stripes but has asked for the body to be knit longer on the next one. Yes, there is a next one in black. 
This sweater will have grey leggings to go with it and a necklace. Anna has to choose the color she wants. 
I have cast on the stitches to make Anna a cape. The yarn is Downton Abbey Lady Mary in Crimson Night. It has a silver fleck in the almost garnet colored yarn. 

Today

We are heading into the city to do a bit of shopping and for the Spousal Unit to see the large shopping area. We will get the unit for my fabric and then look around at men things and be home for a late lunch. 
Until the next time.
