I'm wearing my Flame Stitch Cardigan. It's difficult to believe I finished this over 10 years ago. No foolin'.

There's rain in the forecast so it's a good day for a sweater & socks.

Fresh new knitting, but not yet

New projects to cast on!

Thanks so much to Spinnity for the pattern and the yarn--I'm looking forward to starting these gloves.

with Elemental Affects Natural Shetland Fingering in Musket & Shaela

These colors of Elemental Affects yarn are not dyed, they're naturally colored--they're sheep colored! lol

The other new project will be


Elsebeth Lavold's Pretzel Cable Cardi from Vogue Knitting Fall 2008
with di.Ve' Zenith in Port from WEBS

But before I start either of them, I've got a list of projects that need to be addressed. The gloves and sweater will be my reward for finishing most (if not all) of these:

• A pattern and knitting. The pattern is 80% along and the knitting is close to finished. Deadline: Stitches West
  
• A new sock pattern and knitting for... not sure where this will be submitted, it depends on when it's finished. This design is going through its final iterations.
  
• 50/50 Merino Tencel : 2 singles ready for plying.
  
• Stitches West homework. Just a bit of ribbing.
  
• Sipalu Bag: The reverse st st bit at the top of the bag is flaring out, even after blocking. It needs to be ripped out and re-knit on smaller needles. I'd like to start (maybe even finish) knitting the strap before starting a new project.
  
• Aguona Laptop Bag: Needs a zipper, maybe lining, and sewing up in general.

My goal is to finish the first 4 on the list before starting a new project. If I get through all 6, so much the better.

2007-03: Vogue Diamond Pullover reprise

"So nice, I knit it twice" (said with tongue planted firmly in cheek).

This


is now this.

Vogue Diamond Pullover. Photo by Spinnity.

Yarn: Schachenmayr Micro Color, Color = Nassau Beach,
13 oz/365 gm
Needles: Denise US#7 US#6
Pattern: #10 Diamond Pullover,
Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2004
Size: Small Smaller

Almost 2-1/2 years after finishing the sweater, the VK Diamond Pullover is finished. Again.

This time the fit is much better, although I wish it was a little longer, like by one row of diamonds. But it's fine and I've already worn it in public a few times (and to Stitches West!), which is a few times more than I wore the first incarnation.

Something unexpected happened when I reknit the sleeves. I ran out of yarn. Well, that's not completely true. I still had butterflies of extra yarn from each of the diagonals of diamonds, but I ran out of or I misplaced some of the sleeve yarn. Luckily I had the leftover balls of yarn from the first knit in my stash and used what I needed to finish.

I was wondering if I should label this as a FO for 2007, and decided that I should. Afterall, I did remake the sweater and now it's wearable. I'd say that's a finished object, wouldn't you?
