Got the fronts done for Driftwood, pockets and bottom bands done.
Just need the hood and front bands – I’ve almost convinced myself to do a
button front instead of the zipper. Because I lengthened it, don’t have a
zipper in stock to use and I would want a 2-way that opens up from the bottom. If
I button it, don’t have to worry about that, can just leave a button or two
undone at the bottom…
Since I have a few standard gauge projects in the queue (a couple of Take
a Turn s), I wanted to get another one started on the LK. You might think
this strange but I do not have much in the way of mid gauge yarns – I was never
a collector of hand knitting yarns, unlike some people I know (no names!) but
when I found that gold Aran project, I did uncover a stash of worsted weight
alpaca in a hydrangea blue, very pretty
but not exactly in my colour wheel house. I got it back when I was contributing
to KnitStyle. A yarn company has sent it to me for a project but when I
checked with the editor, she told me I couldn’t use it because they hadn’t paid
their advertising bill and she didn’t want me promoting them. http://knitwords.blogspot.com/2012/04/is-it-middle-of-april-already.html
I had even made a swatch but couldn’t find the notes to go with, so,
unravelled it and made a new one and I’m all set to do more Aran knitting! Hiking
sister Janet will like this, I’m sure! Thinking how I can revamp one of my hems
for a different look…
