a foggy place . . .

Another belated post

I'm really happy with my flétta, it fits great and the alpaca yarn is much softer than the called-for létt-lopi (natch). After finishing flétta, I charged ahead with my deep v argyle vest. I was still in the waistband when I realised that way back when I cast-on for the project, I was a 36" - I'm now more like a 32" (I blame breastfeeding). So I frogged. I cast-on for the 32" size. I finished the waistband. I took a look at the charts. Only the 36" was to be found. I must have only printed off that chart to save paper. To save the trees. Back to the computer to print off the 32" chart. No file. NO FILE! AAAFGGHHHH! Instead of dwelling on the matter, I've decided to use the RYC alpaca yarn for the colette pullover. I swatched, (final result=2.5 mm needles to get gauge) but I DID NOT CAST-ON. I'm determined to finish a project already in progress - rogue. I also decided to scrap juno - it's too similar to artic, which I prefer, except for the attached scarf thing. I want to put the cable patt for the scarf-thing on the centre back, which would mean starting over, so why not switch yarns? I'll use the blue-turquoise juno yarn for artic and the green artic yarn for the green gable hoodie (Vogue, Fall '08).
whew!

I've been knitting ...

So I've been neglecting my little blog; I want to begin posting more regularly.
Maybe once a week, if I'm lucky. I finished Aftur on 5 January for my sister's birthday. She really loves it. I made an album for Aftur - it's on the side bar. Since then, I've been plugging away on Flétta 2.0. I'm nearly finished the body, which only leaves the sleeves and collar to do. My coworker commissioned a hat last week - the Tweedy Beret (sans i-cord) from the A Cardigan For Arwen issue of Interweave Knits. I am using black Jaeger Extra Fine Merino Aran. It's going well since I gave up on the dpns and just started over with a pair of circs (magic loop, I love ya).
Bye for now!
