Pattern: Minimalist Cardigan Interweave Knits Fall 2007
Size: Small (35 1/2")
Yarn: Cascade 220 Heather
Colorway: Galaxy (brownish, purplish)
Notes: I made it approximately an inch longer than pattern specified. The wool grew very soft with washing and the color really is quite lovely. More pictures to come when the weather improves.

Minimalist

My weekend away was lovely and very eventful. Sorry, no pictures as I forgot to take any - as usual. There was much eating, hanging out with friends, shopping, (though not so much buying on my part) but no knitting.

I made up for it Tuesday by finishing the back of my minimalist cardigan and starting on the two front sides. Knitting continued through last night while I watched Pushing Daisies (my new favorite-est show). So this is what I have to show for the front..... In completely unrelated to any kind of knitting news: we may be going to see Blues Traveler in December, so here is a little love....

weekend knitting update

Here is a finished infant hat in Navy Bamboo. I made the pattern up as I went along. Circumference is approx 16.5" stretched.I have been considering opening an etsy shop to sell knitted things per a fabulous suggestion made by a reader. The questions that come to mind: can i keep up? will this be cost effective?

Any thoughts?

I cast on for the Minimalist Cardigan from the Fall 2207 Interweave Sunday afternoon, doesn't look like much does it? Believe me, it is. 10.5" is a lot when you're knitting in moss stitch. This is Cascade 220 in Galaxy. It's been a little hard on my hands with all the dry, cold weather we've been having. In other news: I am leaving town to go see my sister Thursday night through Monday night. YAY! I wish I could say this cardigan would be finished in time to wear it Sunday - but definitely not. Why won't my boss pay me to knit?
