Morning my Fellow Fashionista's!
Is it just me, or is this sweater more addictive than most? I spent a decadent afternoon yesterday swatching with a kitten sleeping in my lap (the only way any knitting happens around our kitten is if she is asleep). Then I just couldn't resist any longer and started casting on! This morning I barely managed to fit in breakfast before I had to pick it up; this yarn is so yummy, who needs breakfast! I am feeling lucky/indulgent/glutinous today because I am supposed to take it easy. Taking it easy means lots of knitting, right? Maybe I could pop in Roman Holiday for some extra inspiration.
By the way, is anyone else planning on knitting in the round? I can't stand seaming and couldn't foresee a reason why not to, but if any of you more experienced knitters are avoiding it please share your reasons.
Now where did that kitten get off to...
Yeah! I'm glad someone else brought up the "in the round" question. I am going to start swatching tonight and was wondering the same things. Let's hope someone in the know, knows!

What have you guys decided? Ann

Well, actually I had a problem with my first decreases(k3tog tbl) - I did it backward (oops!), so I had to drop those rows and fix. But all in all, it seems like my Audrey-go-round is going okay.
