mostly cloudy with a chance of knitting
It's not so beautiful outside today, and T & I were out late celebrating his birthday last night, which leads me to think today would be a good day to sit around and knit.
Unfortunately, I'm really sick of my hoodie. I can't start Viv's cardigan, since I'm waiting for the yarn to arrive. I can't start Cleo for my sister, because again, I'm waiting for the yarn. Ayeee. I guess I will just tough it our and work on the hoodie. I just want to be done with it already. I should look through my stash to see if I have some random cotton to make Viv a little tank.
So, the new issue of Knitty. People are all a-swirl on the various knitting communities. People seems to feel strongly. I don't. I think some of the stuff is cute, though I am more inclined to make things I can show off, I guess because I'm still newish and it feels like such a giant accomplishment every time I finish a piece. I am considering making hush hush. It's really beautiful. I might wear it in public, actually. I'm thinking a silvery grey with black and hot pink ribbon. Ohh, Maybe I'll knit the top in black, the rest in the silvery grey and pink ribbon. Hmmmm. If I do, I'm sure it will take me ages. I can see it being something to have perpetually in progress when I get sick of scarves, hats and sweaters over the winter, and then voila! Next spring, I'd have a lovely little nightie/ dress. We'll see.
Time to vacuum and do dishes, then I will hunker down with the sleeves to my hoodie.

C~ have you seen the book Vintage Knitting? There are two different cami/tanks in there that I always think of you when I look through the book.
I think you would like it a lot.

yes, I love love love Vintage Knits! One of these days, I will attempt the silk camisole in there, when money and time are less of an object!
