I’d been very, very afraid that the Tivoli was going to be too small again. And I knew that it was time to try it on, sort of a now-or-never moment. And yay! Fits perfectly. Comfortably. It’s the bestest.

As I mentioned, I’m in love with the structure of the USMP from the current Inteweave Knits. I was doing some blog-trolling this afternoon (what else have I been doing today) and I came across the knitalong.
to new york and back
I went to NYC this weekend marginally against my will, to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The best thing about the trip was the long uninterrupted time to work on the Tivoli T. We took NJ Transit in order to save some $, which means an increase in time (versus Amtrak).
I decided to take a slightly different approach for the sweater–did no picot edge and started with more stitches at the outset, in order to have a wider neck (by just a little), but I’m now following the new pattern unchanged.
Had trouble hitting gauge again but have left it: Got it to 24st/4in on size 5s, and didn’t want to go up any higher for fear that the stitches will look too open. We’ll see what happens. Pictures tomorrow!
a lovely afternoon
I skipped out on work this afternoon (well, took a half vacation day) and walked over to Borders. The weather today is particularly nice, so I turned my ipod on and made my way. I looked at a bunch of knitting magazines and have confirmed my love for Interweave Knits’s Union Square Market Pullover–the cover sweater. I admit I’m not entirely convinced about the little foldover/button deal, but the structure of the piece calls out to me. Love those sleeves!
