I'm still working away on (decidedly not Fair Isle) legwarmers. I've finished one adult and one child size pair, and I'm working on a second adult set. These will be going to a service project. They are also a good way to put some of my odd balls of yarn to good use.

I'm mulling over possibilities for knitting a cardigan vest. I have some Lamb's Pride Superwash that I bought way last fall at The Sow's Ear.
It's the purple stuff over on the left, and I have eight balls, so that should be enough. Now what to do with it exactly? I'm thinking some sort of textured stitch, or maybe some cables somewhere. Hmmmmm.
OMG - She Who Should Not Be Named is going to be back in print? I might have to buy a copy of the reprint, just in case I'm ever overcome by the urge to knit that much fair isle. ;)
ReplyDeleteAbout the legwarmers, how long is enough? And what about those of us with queenly calves - how many stitches? Any ideas?
The purple is lovely!
In a totally random coincidence my verification word is
'alises' = Alice's LOL!
Mmm...purple. Whatever you make will look great. If it's an easy vest pattern, I might have to give it a try. (I need to make Mom a vest this year)
ReplyDeleteThat book is already on my Amazon wish list. Maybe by the time it comes out I will be ready for colorwork :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the head's up regarding the book! I don't think I've ever seen that one...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your cardigan vest! I always enjoy seeing your "originals"!
I'd love to see a vest too - I have some handspun just waiting to be knitted......
