Made in Guatemala

 I've been here a couple of months now, and of course in that time I have been knitting A LOT. I've made 3 hats and two sweaters! I'm almost halfway through a scarf AND have begun work on another sweater... and I've made a few blanket squares.

Lovely cable beret

What's on the needles? February 2022

As promised here's a quick roundup of projects I'm currently working on:   First up, the waffle pullover! It's from a vintage pattern, my second attempt at using one. I put it aside when I had a dream about a sweater, which happens to be my next project: an Irish wool striped pullover Finally, I have a mitered square blanket I'm working on in between things, not that I've had time in a few weeks. It's using cotton from right here in Guatemala! Well most of it. I had a few scraps of cotton that I brought with me from the US.
