well
as some of you may have heard, i didn't realize until last night that when the douchebags broke into my car saturday they took my knitting bag and my 3/4-done forecast with them. i feel like i'm almost not allowed to complain since i was neglecting it as a project, but i'd picked it back up recently and it's not like i didn't want it. (it's also not like i didn't want the sweet dear birthday bag it was in, either.)

i don't know how/when i'll have enough of one kind of yarn to make a sweater again, but i want to. so i'm actively soliciting ideas for a new first sweater to knit.

i like this sweater, whose pattern should be getting published before too long.

i like this version of wenlan chia's convertible cardigan (ravelry link, so you won't be able to see it if you're not a member, sadly).

or maybe it should be an elizabeth zimmermann pattern or something, i dunno.

I'm really sorry about your sweater getting stolen, Babbott. Anyone who'd take something like that is a total stu.

Both the sweaters you linked to are really nice and seem like they'd be super useful. I don't have any obvious ideas for other things you could knit, but I'll be thinking about it and I'll let you know if I notice anything Karenish. I bet if you do some poking around on Ravelry you'll get some more good ideas.

Oh, and if you end up wanting to use an EZ pattern you're welcome to borrow any of the books of hers that I have.

Aw, thanks, Bab.

Well, as far as books and stuff are concerned, you're welcome to all my resources. And I may even have some yarn you could use, though I don't have sweaters-worth of too much stuff.
