Winding the mohair (and all the fuzz that flew up my nose) reminded me how much... I don't like mohair! Then I started knitting it up, and remebered how much... I love mohair! I can remember how it felt when I tried the shop version of this jacket on in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Yummy. Better then chocolates, it was hard to stop knitting.
Love Your Yarn people! Happy V day!
Okay so we all know math and spelling are not 2 of my strengths, but I did do some math last night. I was able to knit about 3 inches over the course of one day. I think on average I could get 2 inches a night if I knit for 3 hours. This means I will not be able to finish Chamonix in time. There is just no way i coudl do this unless I quit my job.
So last night around midnight I realized I had to make a change and be more realistic. I really want to finish a garment/sweater though because I feel like it's a big challange. So I dove into my stash and quickly came up with this KIT;
Fleece Artist Garter Stitch Jacket
It's knit in one size so you just go down a needle size or up a needle size to adjust the size a bit, I'm going down from an 11 to a 10. I am having some issues reading the pattern (Did you in some parts of Canada they have something called "Swing Needles" aka circs?) so once I get that all worked out I can start. Hopefully tonight.
It's still a big challange, but the chanses of my finishing it are higher then with Chamonix. I am happy I got Chamonix started properly so it's not all a loss. Did you know tonight is the first night of figure skating!! Those evil tv people have stretched it out across the next 2 weeks. Women arn't until next tuesday.
I need to remember to post tonight about my lovely presents from Gomi and Scout! Reminder to self!
