Here’s what my sweater looked like before I frogged it:
Yes. Before I frogged it. The reason is two-fold: 1) the yarn makes me itch like no tomorrow and 2) the pattern was needlessly confusing. I could probably have really focused my energy on ignoring the yarn itchiness and figuring out the pattern but, really, I just don’t feel like it.
Will I start another sweater? Maybe. I don’t really have any other projects in projects that I’m too thrilled with. I have a bunch of Rowan CashCotton I could use and there’s a million patterns out there for DK weight yarn. For now, though, I’m putting the whole idea of knitting a sweater this month aside.
Check with me in an hour when I’ve already changed my mind and am swatching CashCotton for something. If I do, you’ll hear about it tomorrow.
(Oh, this is my first post on my pretty new computer. Er, Matt and I’s pretty new computer. It’s a Mac, my first since I was little. I sort of kind of know how to use it but, really, I’m mostly going to use it to surf the web/blog.)
At least you didn’t get to far in before realizing it wasn’t working.
I want to knit up a sweater vest for myself really, really bad, and the fact that it’s now cold and it’s NaKniSweMo is making it very difficult to concentrate on deadline items like Christmas presents.
Also, I decided not to do NaBloPoMo since I suck at it and apparently can’t meet a goal or deadline in knitting-related stuff to save my life, and then on the 2nd realized I posted on the 1st and was about to post again, and am posting for the 3rd, so maybe I will be doing that. Unofficially.
