Making Monday: More Sweaters
I’m still working on my friend’s Purple Snapdragon Tam and haven’t even thought about starting her Honey Cowl. But sometime during the holiday weekend/Black Friday sales I fell down the hole that was the Knitpicks holiday sale. It was Friday or Saturday, I had a LOT of fun with my guests, the mornings blend.
So I immediately added the Gloss DK I have been meaning to buy to make Alta in my cart. Then I paused and like every time one shops on Knit picks…its only $xx until free shipping. I could maybe get another sweaters worth in Wool of the Andes. It went a little over, but two sweaters worth of yarn, one a silk/wool blend for around $60 is awesome.
So now I have two sweaters worth of yarn and one pattern. But I have ideas. I used Trimmings to guess my yardage. I now have 1,210 yards of yarn waiting for a sweater pattern to call its name. I’m in a pullover mindset so that narrows it down a bit but I’m still trying to decide between:
So I have a couple of options to think through. I also want to finish Bayside, and may be wondering if I can finish it by VKL - NY (you know mid January) when I haven’t frogged it and gotten started again yet. But I did take the week between Christmas and New Years off. So I’ll have time to knit an entire fingering weight sweater? Maybe? I had the fleeting thought this morning so feel free to tell me it was the lack of caffeine talking.
