wip it out wednesday

Posted on | July 30, 2008 | 8 Comments

Ha, I wonder how much more spam that title will generate!  Couldn’t possibly be more than what I’m currently getting.  I had no idea so many fetishes existed.  Ahem.

Okay, so thank you for all the comments on my last post!  I’ll have to keep that soap box handy; I enjoyed reading everyone’s opinions and I really think if we were in charge of the world, it’d be a happier, healthier, better place to live.

But it’s time to get back to the purported purpose of this blog and show you guys what I’ve been working on.

I finished the second 6 oz. of the Fat Cat Knits fiber.  I have a little over 1,000 yards and am still looking for the perfect pattern for a handspun sweater.  I saw this over on Drops yesterday (btw, that link will take you to their fall collection and they have several really cute patterns this season):

 

I find the construction intriguing, particularly the vertical striping, but I’d have to see if I have any coordinating yarn for the bands and collar.  It’s just a thought right now.

While I’m thinking it over, I’m knitting Aibhlinn, which I will never be able to pronounce.

Following the lead of many Ravelers, I cast on 101 stitches and am using two balls of Tahki New Tweed that I bought when I first started knitting.  Back when I thought 200 yards would be enough for a scarf – remember those days?  Ah, innocence and naievete, thou hast forsaken me!

And I’ve knit a sock.

Spring Forward (again from Knitty) that I had no interest in knitting whatsoever until I saw Turtlegirl’s tonal version and knew it’d be perfect for the ShiBui yarn in my stash.  These will be a Christmas present for my mom, I believe. 

I just have to knit the second one…
