time looking through them. usually, i end up with a couple of stacks of them with pages marked for different ideas. now,
i've just finished that process and come up with a pattern which i think will work. it is shown as a cardigan in Winter 1995
issue of Knitters and i want to make a pullover, and i really lucked out on this..... it is knit in the round and steeked!!! i can
just not cut down the front of it and i'll have my pullover. now, just to figure out how to use the panel idea from the Turkish
design shown in yesterday's post. uummm, also need to figure out colors, which fiber to use, dye and spin, look at the
pattern again and see if i need to make adjustments, take a deep breath (or ten) and get started. am really enjoying the kind
of unofficial semi-retirement thing and not spending as much time dyeing and selling and teaching and doing shows. i even
took a class last saturday at NW Wools and learned the basics of crochet.... wow! now i can do more than a chain stitch!!
picture of the cardi
and here's a case of not thinking it thru completely (a duhh moment). as much as i love to knit a sweater in the round and not have seams to sew, if i want a panel with charted design i will have to knit it in pieces. so will have to find a pattern or do
the figuring out myself and i'd really prefer to take the easy way and NOT have to do my own figuring! damn!! oh well, one
of these days i'll make this cardigan just because i like it.
