I have been stuck in a quick knit, no focus stage for some time now. I don't feel like I have accomplished much since Starsky was finished. Looking back I think I was just not really excited to be working on anything, new or old. But I have new motivation, new yarn to me at least and a fun pattern. This was all by accident, I was at the store over this past weekend, working on a scarf Friday and a sock (I never knit socks) on Saturday. Then a certain someone was looking at the new Classic Elite books and yarns at said store. I was casually looking over her shoulder, then I started telling her to go back a page, forward a page, before you know it I am buying yummy yarn to make a sweater. Wanna see!!! It is called the Summer Set Rib Yoke Cardigan of course I couldn't follow the pattern completely so I am using the Classic Silk in colorway Paris Green (the light gre03062007_012en in the middle). I am loving this yarn and this pattern, I am finished with the back, well up to where I do all the yokey stuff. Wanna really see?

I have also been working on a Socks that Rock sock (in Roctoberfest), Monkey from the last knitty, trying to do it toe up and see if the pattern looks ok from that angle. Also working on my Vintage Velvet Scarf, I really love this scarf and wish it would just knit itself.03062007_004

Not much else going on around here, working at home, trying to not turn into a hermit. I will say working at home helps me workout a ton more, I am going to finish the Runagogo challenge of a 100 miles before 4-1. So it will then be time to work on a new goal a more challenging goal.03062007_009
