I'm Now An International Knitalong Whore

Thank you very much. Or should I say, "merci beaucoup." I just joined Ene's Scarf Ensemble. I sent off an email in my feeble and terribly rusty French and was graciously welcomed to the knitalong. I have two yarns in my stash that I'm considering for the project. I will probably go with the Madeleine. My friend, Jeanne, is knitting Martha from it and keeps cooing over how lovely the yarn is.

Yesterday at work I picked up the Veste Everest I'm working on as a shop model. Did I tell you about that yet? It's Veronik Avery's little vest in the new Interweave. It's cute and cabled. But I would never wear it. I'm using Rowan Harris Tweed Aran. Anyway, I picked it up and started knitting when I noticed a glitch in the pattern. It's just k2, p2, cable 6, p2 all the way around (I'm making mine in the round instead of flat). Well mine went k2, p2, cable 6, p2 all the way around until I got to a section that went k2, p2, k2 p2, etc. and then I saw the part that went k2, p2, k2, p2 k2, p2! ARgh!!! So I ripped it back to the first pattern row and started again. Oy.
