the knitty surprises went live today, and i’m interested in Juno and Oblique. both are really nice looking, and super classy. i should consider juno as a christmas gift instead of Muir …it looks a little faster-going.
since knitty is pretty much my knitting bible, i thought maybe it would be neat to try and design something for the mag. i’m not the greatest knitter (i probably fudge things way more than i should sometimes *cough, seaming, using the correct increases, cough*) but i think if i really just paid attention and thought it out i could make something i’m proud of. and heck, if amy or any editor doesn’t think it’s good enough….whatever, i still did it all by myself! i got some inspiration from a friend’s new winter coat the other day and it’s been nagging at the back of my mind since. of course, the next-fall submission deadline is june 15, so i have plenty of time to plan it all out. i can’t wait!
i’m frogging the entrelac scarf (oh, the pain!) that i was working on so that i can re-cast on with one less triangle at the base. the scarf was just too wide to be flattering on me, so it has to go. but i can’t bring myself to pull out ten inches of stitches….not yet at least. but give me four cups of eggnog coffee (!!) and a platter of sushi over the next couple of hours and we’ll see what happens…
