Weebug Knits

I was just about dead on for the time table for the nestlings to take flight. Last night when we got home from running errands, the occupancy of the nest was down to one.

This morning we were down to none. The nest looks quite a bit larger without a bunch of baby birds crammed into it. Come to think of it, my home looked much larger before we moved in as well. No wonder it seems so much more cramped these days.

It is so...well...empty! The little birds have taken off, and it was time for me to move on to a new project as well. After all, I am on vacation after all. I also have in my head that I might be able to finish this summer tee in time for my high school reunion in a couple of weeks.

What you see here is technically a sleeve, but in reality I used it for my swatch. And, true to the last couple of projects that I have done, I had to go up a needle size to get gauge. The pattern is the Wheat Tee by Rene Dickey, and I am knitting it in Hempathy yarn, a hemp, cotton and modal blend. I haven't a clue as to what modal is, but at the moment I am not going to worry about it over much.
