sick day
wow! thanks for all the lovely comments on my sweater. i highly recommend the pattern. it's very clear and easy to adjust. ah, the beauty of the top-down raglan.
i started feeling ill when i was out with my friend last night and today i can barely remove myself from the couch.
i'm itching to start a new project, but before i tackle another sweater, i thought i'd give something new a try:
i'm using eunny's entrelac tutorial from the latest issue of interweave. entrelac, much like colorwork or lace is totally entertaining to me. i was just going to knit a swatch, but i'm having fun so i'm just going to keep going and call it a scarf. i have 3 skeins if this silk garden colorway, which should be enough, i think. i know it appears that scarf weather has left the building in new england, but really, you never know.
ok, my hot water bottle wants to take the place of this laptop. i'm out.
Comments
Odd question--where did you find a hot water bottle? I've been wanting an old fashioned one for a really long time and I just can't find one! CVS only has weird chemical-y sticker ones or the fancy electric kind.
Oh, and your 'swarf' looks great! I love Silk Garden at a tight gauge.

Pretty entrelac! Someday I will try it too. Meanwhile, I'll just be jealous of your beautiful scarf. :D

I know some find it monotonous, but the first time I tried entreleac I found it completely addicting!
I'm not so sure about the Twinkle book either. I love it from a design standpoint, but I don't think could really wear much of what's in there. That being said, I'll probably try the shopping tunic anyway. :)

Oh, that entrelec is lovely. Love the pinks and grays/blacks together. It's going to make a very pretty scarf and great entrelec practice!!

Three balls of silk garden should be plenty for your scarf. I made a scarf and used four and I almost think it's too long...you will love it, trust me! BTW-I love the color you chose!
