i've chosen a colour!

choosing colours are always overwhelming for me. i don't know why that is.. but i do know that i totally appreciate all of your input on the colour for my new georgia cardigan.

i am so excited to cast this one on!
in my last post about it, i was choosing between cayenne and ginger. and then i discovered that i also could use oxblood. as there was enough yardage of that one too..

so then i put out a shout out for help on the facebook page as well.. and what do you know, there was a definite favourite....
and so, without further ado... the winning colour is...

i don't usually knit in brighter colours. but with sweet georgia yarn at my fingertips, and her colour selection.. how could i not!?
i had a very wonderful helper while trying my hand at the swift and ball winder. owen really thought it was the bees knees...  yes. wouldn't you know, i always wind my skeins by hand...

i clearly would be forever knitting up this cardi if that were the case. hahah. with a preschooler (and hyper one at that) and a kitty.. these babies would never get wound!

knitting with sweet georgia yarn is such a treat for me! especially a sweater's worth! this will be by far my most luxurious cardi. i've definitely worked hard for it... and i'm using up some gift certificates. all of my sample knitting is a huge help towards this purchase.
and really, i can't think of a better pattern to knit this to. weee!

and now i've got my little preschooler wondering why i'm not working on his project right now. a new stuffie for him...which i'll probably be able to show you very soon!!!! and so i need to get a knittin'. and a swatchin'! (when he's not looking). haha.

what kind of things do you have on the go? any fave crafting going on? what yarn would be a big treat for your hands to work with? anything you're coveting? i'd love to hear about it! come chat... coffee's on, and piping hot. xo
