Month: November 2011

  • swatchy swatchy

    Yesterday I worked at the the yarn shop, and I took my bow sweater to work on it there. Since I’m back in again today, I left the project there overnight. So when I came home, I just had to cast on for a new sweater!

    Okay, yes, that’s a swatch, not a sweater. But it’s where it all starts! This is on 5mm needles, in Dream in Color Classy. I think the idea for this sweater is coming along in my mind, but it still has a ways (and a bunch of math) to go.

    (If the swatch looks a bit wet, it’s because I dropped it in the sink before I took this photo. Whoops.)

    Well. I was knitting along on my Ultra Alpaca sweater from a few posts ago, and I got up to the underarm – only to realize that while I’d planned the bow spacing correctly, I hadn’t actually knitted it that way. The spacing made it very difficult to work back and forth, which I need to do above the underarm.

    While I’m at it, I think I’ll make it into a cardigan – I just don’t wear pullovers very much, and I’ve been feeling overheated really often lately. So, farewell, 15″ of Ultra Alpaca sweater:

    At least I can make sure it comes out the way I want, right?

    Right-o. So it’s blog posting month, and sweater knitting month, and I’m a bit wishy washy about both! I must admit, seeing lots of new posts from old blog friends is inspiring me to blog more myself, which is definitely a plus.

    As for the sweater? Well, I’ve got a couple on the go already, what’s one more? This is as far as I’ve gotten:

    Dream in Color Classy

    Got some yarn. Dream in Color Classy in Tea Party. I do have an idea as well, which is really half the battle! I’m going to swatch this up today and see where it goes. Meanwhile, I’m finishing up another pair of socks out of Classy leftovers.

    Worsted weight socks sure are quick and fun! This one is 48 sts on 3.5mm needles, toe up with a short row heel.
