Spring like weather is so energizing, anything seems possible, even knitting down my stash However the long spell of cold temps and rain after Christmas resulted in a finished project---the Turia Pullover. It fits, and I am so glad I used Rainbow Elastic in the ribbing for the sleeves and the body. I wish I had used it at the neckline; I plan to add it with a tapestry needle, but I like knitting it in best. It is very fine so it just disappears, and I try not to stretch it, so it just gives the ribbing memory. Linsy is a lovely, soft yarn, but it has no spring or memory of its own. I would have another FO, the Classic Elite Fisherman Sweater but I lost a sleeve! I have enough yarn to knit another, but I am stubborn, and I am hoping "it will turn up" (one of several mantras I repeat on a regular basis) as I continue my latest attempt at Creating Order Out Of Chaos.
I started a spring cardigan in one of my favorite stash yarns, but "oh no!", I have also misplaced all but three balls of that yarn :-( It is a very pretty beige and cream tweed with nice nubs in pink, orange, and yellow---appropriately named Meadow. Frustrated, I was compelled to start another project, the Point D'Esprit pullover. However I made sure I have all the yarn for that handy :-))
Rather than white, I chose a soft terracotta color from my stash which will give the sweater three season wearabiliity.
