On Hold

The Mystery Sweater would have been finished today, if I hadn't run out of yarn. That's what happens when you set out to make a simple v-neck and end up making a wrappy cardigan. More Silk Garden #34 is on its way, though, and I have only 6 or so more inches of ribbing to complete, plus some trim on the neckline and a quick steam-block before it's officially done. There is also some Kureyon coming (shade #147) for the Wibble's Fibonacci raglan. Even though I'm behind on the Mystery Sweater, and will be late starting the Fibonacci raglan, I think I can get both sweaters done by the end of August. I used my Ann Budd book to estimate how many balls of Kureyon I would need for the raglan, and it turns out that 5 balls is a conservative estimate. Kids are freakin' small, man.

So I'm on a sweater hiatus right now. Which is actually good, because I have work knitting to do. That's right, work knitting. More on this later.

Also, the new VK arrived and yowza! If you don't subscribe, this issue is definitely worth buying. Especially if you like highly textured knits, bohemian-looking knits, and/or socks.
