With my Sockapalooza socks out of the way (thanks for the compliments though I did notice that
deodorant dude got my more comments than my
most favorite pair of socks ever. Not bitter or anything, just saying.)I started hunting for a new project. I haven't worked on a new sweater lately and I've been thinking I need more spring/summer weight sweaters. Something simple to knock around in. I pulled out
my blue Cotton-Ease and my stash of
All Seasons Cotton. I started to dream up a multi-colored top-down sweater in the ASC maybe with set-in sleeves. I went through books, magazines and
Ravelry for inspiration. Then I just wimped out and started a sweater from the Mission Falls
Simple book. I originally planned on making the
Bay Cardigan but it just looks so frumpy in the photo and I was thinking of a simple pullover. So I started the
Bay Funnel Neck Pullover. I won't do the funnel neck, just a simple crew neck. The cable and lace pattern is simple and fun to knit. It did give me a pang of longing to start my
Katharine Hepburn Cardigan but that is a wool sweater and I don't need a wool sweater right now.
I'm wearing my Sitcom Chic right now. I haven't worn it at all because when I finished it I wove in all the ends then clipped off the excess. Unfortunately there was one end that didn't get woven in but did get clipped leaving a hole at one of the underarms. I finally pulled out a sharp needle and some more pink Cotton-Ease and fixed it up.
One last note,
Caryn, mentioned a new free online photo editing site called
Picnik. Then in a strange confluence of events my photo editing software refused to open. So I tried Picnik out and I like it a lot. It's very simple to use and can link directly to your online photo sharing account.
