August 12, 2004I'm seeing redI've always liked red and this is some Gedifra Cicco. I have just been going through my stash and never realized just how much I have. And after seeing Alison's latest FO which is the fabulous Paris Loop created by Stefanie, I had to break out the Cicco and get knittin'. Thanks to Amy, I was able to snag a great deal. However, I have so much red I could have gone for another color. Amy's Paris Loop looks marvelous in that color! Stefanie chose a really interesting yarn that I would not have tried if it had not been for her pattern. I am really enjoying it and the texture is new for me. It takes a little getting used to, but is worth it. And her minisweater is on my list as well. Her photos are just gorgeous! Love her patterns. And also in red is the finished Jo Sharp hat from Jo Sharp Book Two. I'm seeing cables in my knitting future. Thought I would warm up with a hat. Red is so hard to capture without a sunny day to help out, but the rain has brought in some cooler weather so I am HAP...PY. When the sun makes an appearance, I'll have to take more photos. So I was also seeing a little bit of orange too. Pulled out this Rebecca sweater from Magazine 20. It was a little cool last night and I felt inspired to pull out the wool. And yes those are 20mm. US 35's. Big yarn, big needles and a quick knit. More on the ribbed sweater later. And to throw in another color, here's a little blue as I finished the back of Audrey. And I assure you its the back and not a sleeve, though they are only slightly different in size, lol. Now that a cool breeze has finally blown through my town again I am feeling a very knit filled weekend coming on. Have a good one! Comments
You are such a busy bee. Your choices are great! I love the color red also. I'm planning my fall list now because it seems that season is upon us here in Chicago. It's only 59. Posted by: Lynette at August 13, 2004 09:53 AMI love the colour of the orange sweater. I wish I could wear that colour. I really like things that knit up quickly. Is the pattern book called Magazine 20? The blue is gorgeous as well. Such a flattering colour Posted by: Dani at August 13, 2004 12:27 PMWow...I'll say you're busy! Love the red cabled hat! Posted by: Karen at August 13, 2004 05:55 PMYay! Can't wait to see your finished Paris Loop. I love the pics you posted from Girly Knit. Posted by: Amy at August 14, 2004 10:42 AMYou are the queen of multi-knitting! Love all you're doing. And hey...fret not re the size of the sleeves and front/back pieces; mine were nearly the same size, too. Hee hee!

I can't tell from the picture. I just finished Audrey's back 5 minutes ago. I'll post later today or tomorrow. I did what the pattern said and I'm ok with how she came out. I have to say, Audrey is a very quick knit! :) Posted by: Eilene at August 15, 2004 12:57 PM |
