Years ago when I was in high school, I learned how to knit again and took a class up at our local arts center. It was a lot of fun and the group consisted of women my grandmother's age who doted on me. Our teacher was an eccentric lady who raised parrots. Anyways, I started a project that I never finished and which has long been ripped out. The result is this:



I have no idea what it was, but I believe it is a wool blend. Dark gray with colorful specks in it. I really like it and thought it would be perfect for 28thirty. I have swatched and need to knit it on a size 7. I don't quite have guage, but moving to a 6 would make the fabric way too dense. I believe that I will make a size smaller and everything should be a-ok.

Also bought the pattern for Tree Jacket. I have some Queensland Kathmandu Aran that would be perfect. Haven't swatched it quite yet.

Do you notice something? I am using stashed yarns instead of buying new ones. Hooray!



Start the cumbersome work of blocking, cutting and attaching fringe to the Earth Stripe Wrap. Time consuming process, but I hope to finish this by the end of the weekend.



After my finishing success of Scott and Stripes and Webs, I pulled Medievil out of the far reaches of the knitting closet. I have started the armhole steeks. Maybe my husband will have a second sweater for this fall!



Made some major progress on the Multi-Pattern Top. Finished the main body knitting and have sewed most of it together. Unforunately, I don't think this thing is going to fit. The armholes feel a little tight and doesn't quite have the length that my torso needs. But I am going to finish seaming, knit the collar and attach some buttons. Final judgment will be reserved for the final fitting!
