I finished the background for the mini-aran sweater square. Wouldn't you know that I ran out of yarn about two and a half rows before the binf off? That felt a tad silly.
Said silliness was banished promptly after I cast on the ribbing for the mini-sweater (for the second time, of course). I ribbed, then I started the mini-sweater pattern. First of all, I have to say that I love the feel of this yarn (Zara) knit at such a tight gauge. (I usually knit Zara on US6's, the GAAA, being heavily cabled, has been knit on 7's, so the ribbing on 4's seems really tight but I am lusting for the way it feels.
Then I started the main body pattern and it's just... sexy. I don't know what it is. There's just something about those 8 rows of pattern before I became to tired to knit more; it's making me happy.
And it's giving me something to look forward to tomorrow. I get to come home and knit more! Yay!
In other news, I may be teaching one of my clients (from my regular day job which has nothing to do with knitting) how to move beyond Garter stitch... that could be fun!
Posted by Jon at April 4, 2006 05:05 AMThat square sounds fascinating. I'd love to see a picture, please. I don't have the GAA book, so I'm trying to picture this in my mind.
I've also been eyeing the AbFab Afgan kits in the LYS since I saw yours in progress back when.
And I shamelessly gacked the idea of a scarf in seed stitch from you. It's the Diva!scarf on my new blog. Thanks for the inspiration!
