It Doesn't Seem Like Much....
This picture is really going to seem like a cheat. It looks almost the same as the last picture of Fitzgerald. In fact, it is almost the same, except for the inch at the top and the bind off. But it was such a large expanse of knitting, I just have to document meeting the back completion milestone.
Will I set sail for Sleeve Island next? Maybe. It depends on how many kir royale are waiting for me when I get there with Butterfly.
I seem to be in one of those moods where I just can't keep myself from starting new projects. As a gesture of appreciation to all those who understand my strange need to show that I got that extra inch of Fitzgerald finished, I thought I would show off the other projects that I've been working on.
I've been in a scarfy mood lately. I'm about 6 rows away from letting those stitches drop in my Clapotis. Knitting with the Lion and Lamb really does make me a happy knitting camper. So incredibly soft. And no unpleasant color pooling yet. It's a little disturbing how much I am looking forward to letting those stitches drop out. The acts of both creation and destruction in one garment.
I think the Diadomina is going to give some of my Noro yarn a run for its money. It is so incredibly soft and I love the subtle sparkly shimmer in the yarn. It wasn't until I put it next to Clapotis that I realized that I have an unnatural attraction to purple, blue and green lately.
Today is the last day to send me answers to my "Where in the World..." contest. Don't miss out on your chance to snag some fun sock yarn!
I'm considering Clapotis with the leftover handspun from Butterfly....however, I'm NOT in a scarf-y mood.
How you manage to knit so much, so fast, AND be a full-time scientist are mind-boggling!
Maybe you should write a post about time-management to help out us slow knitters out there.
PS: I love the scarves. Those are two I also want to knit before the end of this year.
Just as soon as I got off Sleeve Island with the gorilla arm sleeves of my husband's jacket, I went off and marooned myself on it AGAIN with the sleeves of my wannabe poncho. Wanna share a pitcher of margaritas with me?
Hi Theresa,
I have a Fitzgerald Question: I'm thinking of making Fitzgerald and was reviewing the pattern. Just wondering if you noticed anything "odd" about the front neck shaping and the collar directions. Am I reading it wrong or is the collar described in the pattern VERY different from the one pictured??? The collar in the pattern is going to be a 6 inch shawl collar near as I can tell and the one pictured is obviously NOT a shawl collar. Am I in outer space or is the pattern wrong? I can't find any errata anywhere on the net and don't see where you have mentioned any discrepancies in your blog regarding this. Just thought I'd ask...
Never Mind.
I am in outer space. I looked at the pattern for half an hour this morning and Didn't Get It. Now I do.
sigh.
