Of course there's something new on my needles - there's always something on the needles! I must confess, I made an effort to finish some sleeves, but then I got bored. Come on - SLEEVES! I finished one set and almost finished another, leaving me about 1.75 sets to go, I think.
To ease my sleeve boredom, I case on the Featherweight Cardigan. So far, so good. I wanted a real sweater, but nothing too heavy. It's still in the 90's here (what's up with that?). We have very mild winters, so I thought this would be perfect. Layering pieces are good. The pattern calls for lace weight yarn, but I'm using a fingering weight. The bright red isn't my ideal color choice, but it's what was at my LYS, and I wanted to cast on NOW. I have some dark purple alpaca silk that I really wanted to use, but I didn't have enough. Oh well, I'll have to save that for something else.
I am modifying this a bit, making more of a v-neck, but that's about it. I wanted to add some waist shaping, but I forgot. When I start knitting, I go....again with the boring stockinette that doesn't require much thinking, just the way I like it! Hopefully I won't stall out on these sleeves. I really want to wear this one, so I think I'll make it to the finish line.
