My knitting has reached a bit of an impasse. This has been a few reasons but mainly I have'nt seen anything I want to make lately and sewing is just so much more instant gratification...harder to do while watching TV, though. So, in addition to my sewing resolution, I think I need a few for my bamboo needles.
- I will knit my ravelry queue, in order and with the right yarn
- I will no longer subject myself to the frustration that is buying yarn at Michaels.
- I will accept that to make truly nice garments I should probably spend more than $6 a skein.
I made a good start with these over the weekend when I made my first purchase from
Knit Picks to make the first item in my queue, the
Carnaby Skirt. Living in The Frozen North as I do, skirts don't figure much in my wardrobe for 6 months of the year. But the reviews if this pattern all assure me that this skirt is toasty warm, especially when knit up with
Wool of the Andes. Here's hoping.
