I can’t quite remember when I started this…maybe last winter?
It’s the Doctor’s Bag from Knit2Together, in Briggs and Little that I bought at last year’s KW fair. Double stranded on 8 mm – ouch! I do love the texture, and I loved the idea, but it wasn’t very fun to knit and not even that fast to work! All the finishing was pretty daunting too. I ripped out the two pieces and set the yarn aside – maybe I’ll be up to trying it again sometime, or will find another pattern to use with that yarn.
A loooong time ago, I started this sweater.
I think it was last September, because I distinctly remember knitting it on the way to the Knitter’s Fair in KW. It’s a top-down raglan in Blue Sky Alpacas sportweight, in black. Boring black.
I had a concept of a sweater, and this one didn’t cut it! I ripped it out last week in a fit of fall cleaning. I’m planning to use the yarn for BSA’s Rectangle Shawl pattern. And with any luck, I’ll return some of the unused skeins back to the store in order to purchase new stuff. Trying to sort of take stock of the stash (it has grown to rather embarrassing proportions), reassign projects, etc.
Stay tuned for more wip/rip – there’s lots to come!
