Store Bought!

I was a bad knitter yesterday. I wore lots of knit wear, none of which was ever actually hand-made.

It was all pretty, though: a herringbone two color alpaca sweater (by Ralph Lauren), a pair of fair isle socks, also by RL, and the orange cashmere scarf from Banana Republic which I bought last year. It has some unfortunate holes in it, which doesn't make me super-happy. But oh well.

I had a really horrid headache when I got home from the opera last night, and went straight to bed. If I had been feeling alright, I would probably have watched "The West Wing" and knit a couple rows of blue cable-y goodness. But oh well...

I figure I'll probably finish the sleeve in the next couple days, but I still have the whole front left. Guess it won't be ready for Christmas!

Orange+cashmere=very good thing. Be it handknit or store bought.

(Don't tell anyone, but all my turtlenecks are store bought.)

I'm so glad that someone else has guilt about store bought knits. I picked up a sweater in a store, put it down, picked it up, put it down, numerous times before purchasing, and then hid it away before anyone could see it. Such guilt! :)
