warming up...

the coffee tastes especially good this morning. could be because the house is so cold, but it doesn't matter... the coffee is warm, and i've got plans to knit today.. because i finally cast on for twiggy!


and let me tell you. this will be a quick knit. with it being on 10mm needles, this cardi will practically knit itself! practically.... i mean i cast on late last night, and the collar is already done.  ;)

and really. it's a good thing that it's a quick knit because i really should be knitting for the market... and filling orders... so this is totally justifyable in squeezing this project in just for me. thank you jane for designing such an amazing instant gratification jacket! hurrah!


can you say uber squish factor? i can't wait to show it to you!

any quick knits just for you on the needles? i'd love to hear what you're knitting! and oh so soon i'll be swimming in madtosh. swoon. xo

    oh I'm all about the fast knits after all that christmas knitting. And I also want to knit for me! I'm almost done with Shalom... also bulky and quick, and Twiggy has been in my queue for EVER! You might just persuade me to cast on :)

    Oh Becca, I'm loving the colour, it's so perfect. You are totally making me want to knit a thick-and-quick instant-gratification super-bulky uber-comfy sweater!!!

    squishy squishy! Can't wait to see your finished Twiggy.

    And good for you for selfish knitting. Knitting for others has its own pleasure to afford, but hey, we totally deserve a treat every now and then!

    Man, I'm DYING to cast on something new...but stupid me had to go make it a January goal to finish at least 2-3 WIPs from 2012 before I'm allowed something new. I've been craving a fast and instant gratification knit too! Can't wait to see your Twiggy when it's done. This is in my queue too! :)

      bonus is that i'm knitting this out of yarn that was on MAJOR sale on boxing week... and i'm sure that the more i wash it the softer and plusher it will get... (that's thick and quick for ya). ha.
