Okay so I don’t know what is wrong with my brain lately & not knowing what size I am. I measured my hips, waist & body length. Figured my gauge & then cast on for my striped sweater. Yeah I finished it & it is way too big around my waist & hips. Plus it is a little shorter than I would like it to be. So it is being frogged as we speak & it will be reknit into the same but different item. I love the colors, the stripes, the no sewing, the cap sleeves, the neckline, just not how frumpy it is without skimming my body. So there goes that!
In case you haven’t been there, you must go see the marvelous organization skills of Tracy & her yarn collection.
We went camping this last Thurs & Friday nights up off of the 154 on Paradise Rd. For being under a thousand foot elevation it wasn’t terrible, just a lot of dirt & oak trees. I prefer mountain misery & pine trees but I will take camping when & where I can get it. It was a fast trip, not much planning so I can’t complain. It was a nice change from home. I did work on the camping sweater but it’s not close to finished. I still have the hood & 2 sleeves to work on. My striped s/s sweater has drawn my attention away from the camping sweater a bit. So selfish of me, I know!
We are having a LOTR marathon today so I should get back to it! Pictures of the completed striped sweater, before frogging, to come soon!
