FRIDAY!!!Of course, it's going to rain all weekend. Ah well- I have plenty of knitting projects to keep me busy. The list for this weekend:
 Speaking of swatches, I finished another one last night... I think this pattern is from Barbara Walker #2. I really like the way you can work it in mirror images, and I have a feeling this one will find its way onto the sweater. But I still have quite a few swatches to go before I can start playing with combinations. And I still have to decide whether or not I want to make this into a cardigan! Anyone have experience adding a zipper to worsted weight cotton? I'm afraid the sweater will stretch, but the zipper won't. Maybe I'll do snaps? I don't really like buttons all that much in cotton. Hmmmm.................. Well, good thing I have a few months to figure it out (maybe longer depending on how long my dad's vest takes!)
Of course I started another pair of socks yesterday... from the sock of the month club. I really like the feel of the yarn, although the black and white tend to come un-wound, and I have to be careful about splitting stitches. I knit tightly, so my gauge is totally off from the pattern, but since the pattern is cuff-down, I'm not using it anyway. For the sock of the month socks, I just use my/wendy's pattern (taken from wendy, customized by me), and whatever stitch the sock club pattern features. Seems to work out well, and then I don't have to "think" about what to do next! :) It has been really fun to get a new package of yarn each month, and it's always nice to support a (more or less) one-person industry. oleo tranquillior "smoother than oil" 0 comments || # |
