This jumped off my needles and into a bath this morning. It's currently drying in the laundry room awaiting a decision on buttons.
Pattern: Golden Wheat Cardigan, Veera
Yarn: MadelineTosh Tosh Vintage
Colorway: Cove
My version of Golden Wheat is reminiscent of the original, but besides the stitch count at the beginning of the raglan increases, I basically changed everything. Once she is DONE done, I'll add some notes about my changes.
Continuing with my stashdown efforts, I recently cast on a mini cold sheeping mascot. Once finished, this little guy will serve as a reminder to keep my stash acquisition down to a minimum.
Pattern: ASE's Little Lamb - Knit Version
Yarn: Paton's Classic Wool
Colorways: Natural Mix and unknown heathered burgundy
So far, so good on the cold sheeping front. However, this week was big in the temptation department. Instead of giving in, I broke some rules and cast on a new project, Cinnie. Good news is that I'm using stash and I already owned the pattern. What I should have been doing is picking Cassidy back up, but knitting a Chic Knits pattern (or all of them) is never a bad idea.
Pattern: Cinnie, Chic Knits
Yarn: Knit Picks Simply Cotton Sport
Colorway: Duchess Heather
I have to confess however, that while I shopped both the yarn and pattern stashes for this WIP, I really just wanted to cast on something with my new Knit Picks nickel-plated interchangeable set. I have nearly an entire set of Harmonies, but over the last few months have noticed my knitting style/speed changing a bit and realized that metal is the way to go from now on.
I have to say I'm loving the new needles so far, just a bit bummed that I have to finish up WIPs with the old needles.
