My current work in progress:

1. Zig-Zag Gansey, my own design, knit from Lion Brand Cotton-Ease in the "Blossom" colorway, on U.S. size 6 (4mm) needles.
2. Myriad stealth projects.

Cloudy With a Chance of Knitting

    Fall is the best knitting time…if you can take your eyes off the colors…enjoy!!!

  2. Carolina sky but brisk breeze and cool temps makes knitting the project of the day — and the Yarn Crawl in the surrounding area started Friday — perfect weather!

    Which condo place do you live in? Sorry to pry – I’m just getting ready to buy a place in Alexandria/Fairlington/Arlington and was curious how you like your condo.

    I am so jealous of you lace work 1 your so fast, but I can live with that but I along with the speed you seem to have many issues with mistakes slowing you down, I use markers and track line by line and repeat by repeat and I have done pretty well with some in the past, but my current piece is just a small shawl type to wear over a jacket as a type of scarf and it is a simple pattern and I have actually have been able to memorize it but after many tink backs for not coming out correct I have tracked line by line and with markers and I am ready to frog it completely and find a new pattern for same type of thing I am hoping you might have a suggestion for another way to help track everything. If not thanks for reading and the mental support

    There is a skirt in a new book by CEY that reminds me of the back of this sweater. Looks interesting to knit.
