It is finally starting to

It is finally starting to get cooler here in Chicago. Cooler weather always inspires me to get out my knitting needles and start things that I know it will take me years to finish. This year I am trying to be reasonable, however, and focus on small projects I can accomplish or big projects with big wool. I also have a "knitting buddy" this year, and she is also helping to keep me motivated.

I have just discovered bulky yarn and the speed with which it knits up. I got the better part of a sweater knit up over the weekend (the sweater is done with Cleckheaton Gusto 10, which knits up beautifully!) I also just got started on another ladder yarn scarf -- this time using Trendsetter Binario (color 103 -- reds). So far the color is vivid and incredible. I don't think pictures will do it justice, but I will try to take one and post it when I get further along.
