Look what I made!
beware models
I’ve been thinking more about the Sunrise Circle Jacket and this strangeness from the designer regarding the sizing and the way it will hang. I wonder if the whole problem is that the model is sitting with her arms kind of akimbo. I know that most anything will hang differently in that position–the designer’s photo of her friend in the jacket had her arms hanging dead and limply on her sides.

The Sunrise Circle Jacket—I’m also participating in the knitalong. I saw this jacket online (it’s the free one from Interweave Knits this issue) and immediately thought of my mom. The interesting construction has yielded positive comments from my boyfriend as well as the coworkers I’ve shown it to. I went with Knit Picks’s Wool of the Andes in Fern. The yarn arrived last week.
i d-d-d-d-did it!
I kind of can’t believe it. I finished a pair of socks. First time ever! An Olympic-sized challenge that, when push came to shove, proved much easier to complete than I’d thought. With the strict deadline, however, it wasn’t hard to continue on with the second sock. (Ok, I had a little bit ofsecond sock syndrome , but all in all it was fairly minor.) We’ll see how I fare with no gold medal* hanging out in front of me like a carrot for future socks, though. (What? did I just say “future socks”? Why yes, I believe I did. I don’t think I’ll ever be as devoted to socks as some, but there’s no reason to avoid them any longer.)
