Random Tuesday
February 13th, 2007Rogue? Done! I actually got it done about an hour before meeting the gals at Panera on Sunday (and I wore it - unblocked!) It fits, it received kudos, and I'll show it off soon (if the sunshine cooperates they'll be modeled pictures! Possibly even this afternoon.)
Firstly - I won something! Marisol had a little contest - And I WON! Thank you Marisol! Now I need to get my hands on that Yarntini yumminess myself!
I'm now trying to finish up the last details of a baby knit - and a dusty blue Shedir for Kris, (and I've also cast on a black Calmer Shedir as well. Will I get them both done before I get to Kris' house? We'll see!) But I'm feeling the urge to complicate my life a little and take a challenge. So I've been haunting Nordic Fiber Arts, and have totally fallen in love with Poetry In Stitches, specifically, this sweater, and this one, oh - this one too. I'm going to have to save some pennies for a kit, so perhaps this will be my summer project?
What got me thinking about it, is that I remember reading a blog entry last year that was linked from someone else, about a finished, steeked cardigan. Its the sweater that got me seriously thinking about fair isle, but more specifically, steeking. Lots of google searching over the weekend led me to Tigers in Red Weather's Ingeborg, but the sweater in my memory all this time, had more of a rose motif - so I'm not sure if this is the one or not. Perhaps I should really challenge myself and just design it? (Yeah right!)
So anyway - we're cautiously watching the weather today. We're to leave on our trip tomorrow evening, but a monster of a storm is heading east. Though it looks like locally we'll be somewhat ok, where we need to drive appears to be getting slammed. Lets just hope its all done and cleaned up before we leave!
Around a year ago on this day..

Hey Carla-
You be safe on the roads! The forecast isn’t great and I am thinking of not heading up to class if the roads look as snowy blowy as predicted. I’ll be thinking of you. Wait until the time is right.

has the kits, too - the exchange rate used to work out really nicely, not sure what it is right now. It’s great yarn to work with (and at least for the leaf cardigan, the kit includes ribbon for the edging!)
Can’t wait to see Rogue!
