Ambitious Zodiac
Yesterday I looked at my top after one cable interval of progress and looked at the calendar and realized that I needed to be a little more ambitious. After all, come September, we can expect the beginning of cooler weather here in Chicago. If I wanted to wear this little top more than once, I needed to work faster.
I talked to my wrists... asked them how they felt about the top. They thought they would look great in it and that they were willing to work a little overtime to get it ready. And this morning, they feel fine, so they lived up to their end of the bargain. There's just a little bit more to go before I Kitchener the top edges together and start on the back. I'm hoping to have it done by the time I go to the Michigan Fiber Festival on Saturday. I know I don't need a sexy halter top to see sheep and fiber, but hey!
Julie and I will be there on Saturday. We're trying to find a good place to meet up and hopefully meet up with other Great Lakes area bloggers. Please leave me a comment or drop me an email if you're going to be there & I'll let you know what we're planning!
Wow! The Zodiac looks great! I like the simplicity of it as well the V, which will be very sexy! And you finished most of it in a weekend! Soon you will be right up there with Wendy in speed!
holy cow!!! impressive progress!!! :)
Heh. I don't think I could ever match Wendy! Sometimes I do just get into a zone and knit like crazy. Yesterday was one of those times. This is a good project for it, too -- enough cable to make it interesting, but not so much that I have to think really hard about it. And I do like the Zodiac, except for the twisting. I think it will look even better when I block it!
Please let me know what the bloggers are planning at the Fiber Festival, so if our other plans fall through, I can run over.
