First, the Sshh. Because this arrived yesterday with a bag of fabulous yarn and I'm about to spend the rest of the morning playing with it. And I couldn't be more excited!!
The monkey party invitation is covering up any info on WHAT kind of project this is going to be, but it's my first actual signed contract with anybody, so I'm all kinds of happy about it, and I had to at least share it a little. Besides, it helps me to block out the fact that I'll have to be at a Chuck E Cheese on Sunday AM at 9:30. (If my 1st grade parent buddies are reading, know that I do love you. The fact that I'm dragging my ass out is proof of this, but it's still 9:30 and it's still Chuck E Cheese, so I can whine.)
Whining aside, there's more knitting to discuss. There's this little number for spring, which I was juuuuuuust about done with, but have finally come to the painful realization that I'm about to reknit the whole thing.
I actually love what the design evolved into, but my original intent was a more curvy, kinda fitted top, and every time I wriggle into it, I realize I'm just not a fan of anything so fitted. The feeling had been growing, and when I put it on with the whole hip-waist-bust thing done, I realized it just isn't something I dig. Way too Jessica Rabbit.
SO... take two.
Same sweater, 3" of ease. We'll see how it looks when it's a bit looser, right? I'm feeling very proud of myself for deciding to Do It Right. There's plenty of time with this guy, since it's so summery, so this is all fine and Ill be much happier with it in the end. It can wait.And wait it must, because Super Secret has a deadline and I'm about to begin.....
MOODY BROODY #2!
Sarah has outdone herself with the most amazing shade of light bluish gray. This is going to be moody beachy - remember? A cloudy, hazy beach day gray.
Later today, I get to skein these babies and get them ready for their journey TO MEXICO on Monday. My goal is to have it fully knit by the time I return next week, so I can finish up the writing and get moving on the rest. Rows of teeny buttons might be involved and I'll need time to pick them out and play with options - beccause I do love my buttons and that's fun.
So yes, don't look for me on the internets next week. I won't be here.
But I'll be back the week after, with pics and progress and maybe a new Margarita recipe?
