i know a lot of you have had your yarn already wound for a while now, and swatches have been done. i can just imagine the blurr of the needles right now as everyone casts on with ridiculous excitment! haha. and some of you have plans for 3 sweaters! hurrah!!!
want to know what i'm going to be working on??? (probably time i spilled the beans... lol) i'm planning on finishing one wip. and casting on a new sweater...
my wip is my robin.. i'm knitting with drops alpaca, and on 3.25mm needles... yeah, that's pretty tiny for a sweater!
the other sweater i'd love to knit is boxy! in wollmeise!! i've never knit with wollmeise, and i'm pretty excited about it. i'll be using a 3.5mm i think for it. (although those needles are being used at the moment... so i'll have to finish up that project too!lol).
these are some pretty lofty goals i know.. but i'm in fantastic company! the ravelry thread has been a buzz since the kal was first announced (even before!) ... and i know that i'm not the only one with these projects on the needles :)
are you still a little stuck in what to decide? check out the pinterest board! so full of inspiration (if the ravelry thread hasn't made your queue explode already). ha.

so tell me, are your goals as lofty as mine? have you cast on? are your needles a blurr of yarn and expectations of yummy sweaters?? what are you working on? oxox
That alpaca is gorgeous! That is going to be one cozy sweater! :)
ReplyDeletei agree! it's so very soft! xo
DeleteYour Robin is lovely. It's going to look great on you when you're done!
ReplyDeletewee !! thanks! i'm excited for it! i think it will be perfect for fall and winter. xo
DeleteI can't wait to see your Boxy! I am waiting for the colorway I want to come back in stock so I can buy it and knit it too. :) I have three or four sweaters planned and a couple WIPs that might or might not get done. I don't anticipate I'll get ALL of them done, but at least started!
ReplyDelete3 or 4 sweaters!!! holy cow! that's awesome!! what colour are you wanting to knit your boxy in? i thought this was pretty gutsy, haha, but i can't help it. i think a wasabi boxy is perfect ;) xo
DeleteGood greif that boxy will be totally gorg! I'm still on the fence about one for myself.
ReplyDeletegrief...
Deletethanks!! i'm excited about a daring colour... i think you should knit one. just because ;) xo
DeleteAh! I love Robin and in those colors... so nice! I love your taste in sweaters, Rebecca! I'm still traveling, so I'm super antsy to get to work on my KAL sweater when I get home.
ReplyDeleteoh blush! thanks so much xoxo my kal knitting actually won't start as quickly as i'd like it too.. i have a sample knit that needs to fly off the needles first... but i'm determined... (and dutch) ;) xo
DeleteArghhh ... what to knit? Hmmm, I shouldn't really say "argghhh" as choosing what to knit is actually a fun thing to think about! : )
ReplyDeleteit is :) but it can be tricky especially when my queue just keeps growing exponentially! haha. have you narrowed it down at all? xo
