This sweater is a KAL with my SF knitting group! It’s been nice to keep my connection with them while I have only been able to make it to knit night a few times here in Portland.
The Tweedy-stripey pattern is easy and fun! I started a few weeks ago and am now on the first sleeve. I think I’m pretty close to knitting the sleeve edge! I just love how bright it is, and owe my husband a big thank you for steering me away from gray, dark gray, and black! These colors ought to keep me cheerful during the drizzling winter months of the Pacific Northwest.
In non-knitting news, we found a lovely hike in southern Washington today. I love how different it is from Northern California! 
I hope you had a nice weekend too!
You are lucky to not have to deal with scheduled black outs and fire dangers. Love how you’re enjoying your new surroundings.
I’m relieved to be missing the fires this year! I do worry about our friends and family in CA, though.
