I feel like there’s so much good knitty stuff to talk about that I feel some bullets are in order 🙂
- Yarn and color cards have been ordered for the Venezia Pullover and the Phildar sweater. So now all that’s left to do is wait! I really thank everyone for their valuable feedback. I would be lost with and in a yarn tangle without you! 😉
- I am done with the skirt on the Tilted Duster and will be picking up the stitches at some point today for the collar. So far so wonderfully good but I think I wish I had sewed the sleeves in when I sewed the sides and shoulders but with good lighting and patience I’m sure the sleeves will set in just nicely! I made them a tinge too long as I got carried away with the cuff ribbing but I’m hoping to squish them a bit in the blocking process.
- I finally got a chance to to take a pic of the Rowan Cardigan from the Studio 6 book – so you can weigh in on that one too. My hangup about it was having the huge chunky cables up the back of the piece. At first I was leaning towards no, but recently have thought that it would be quite lovely.
- I’m also loving the new issue of Vogue Knitting (haha despite the Obvious!). There is a ton of great knitting to boot! I immediately casted on for Norah Gaughn’s Medallion Shawl with some Rowan Silk Wool I had in the stash. I’m on the 7th row of the first repeat where I have to knit into both loops of a Double Yarn over. I at first though you dropped both stitches but realized that no indeed you need both loops – so I’m knitting in the the front of one and the back of the the other and hoping that is right.
- I’ll be rooting for the hometown boys today in the playoffs. GO G-MEN!!
- And if you happen to be in the Hoboken area today I’m working at Patricia’s Yarns. So stop by!

It’s funny, every time I’ve just about decided not to renew my Vogue subscription they put out a really good issue and reel me back in. Are they like the mob that way? 😉

I haven’t gotten my VK yet… and I am beginning to wonder if I didn’t renew because of their awful issues in 2007. Just like Disentangled said… why do they do that? ack.
I am excited to see your new yarns and your progress on the knits!

The Rowan Cardigan is fab. I would have to shop (VERY carefully) for an entire outfit to go with it so as not to make me look like a house, but you’d be just fine!!

I too need to get the new VK. I think the Rowan cardigan is goregy. So much knitting fun, and it’s only January!
