Despite being very busy in lab (where I'm certain I'm going to do a real experiment any day now), I have managed to get a little bit of knitting done. I decided to bite the bullet and knit myself a sweater.
I'm knitting the cover project from the fall Interweave Knits magazine. Well, I will if I ever get gauge. I've knit 2 swatches and I'm still going down needle sizes. I'm even being good and blocking the swatches. Normally I don't go in for this whole swatch thing, but I figure when knitting such a big item it's comforting to know that you did your best to make it come out right. The yarn is Andean Silk in Sangria from Knitpicks. It's an alpaca and silk blend and very soft. On my screen the yarn looks more purply than in person.

That is SUCH a cute photo of him! It's GREEEEEEEAT! (<--Sorry, bad Tony the tiger comment.)
ReplyDeleteHe looks very relaxed in his tiger lair.
ReplyDeleteOh I loved that sweater--I'll be waiting to see your progress! (I decided I have too much belly right now to make it. I'd look like I was 9 months pregnant.)
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say hello I have been so slack lately with my own blog and also stopping by the blogs linked from mine, so I am trying to fix that :)
