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!

Organising my stash

I am making progress on Héla, it will be done by my deadline Sunday night (the flight is really early Monday). So I've decided to organise my stash a little bit. That is assign my wool to future projects.

My first ever socks! In Fleece Artist Merino sock yarn.

This will be the Gjá sweater from Lopi 24.

This will be Aftur from Lopi 25.

This 100% wool, Selkirk by Ram Wools in Lavender, will become Rogue by Jenna Wilson.

And finally, this lovely RYC Alpaca (in blossom & herwick) will become Eunny Jang's Deep V Argyle Vest.
