Just In Time!

I've spent the last two nights seaming up sweaters. With the AC blasting and a fan in my face. My timing is just so fantastic I don't know what to do with myself.

I now have 3 items all in the "waistband/neckband" stage: $1.50, Sideways Spencer, & F-No State Tweed. We've hit 96 degrees for the last two days and I don't think we're looking back. I'm glad I'm speeding to finish these bad boys so I can wear them.... in October.

F-No State Tweed, being 20% and 80% ACKrylic (which is actually quite divine... I'll do a post on the yarn, Patons Chunky Tweed, someday), might have a chance of showing up in Yosemite for my Semi-but-not-legally-but-someday-might-be-brother-in-laws Wedding over Memorial Day, but the others are probably headed straight to the "handknit sweater drawer". Just in time!

This being realized, I cast on a new top this morning that I might be able to wear sometime in the next 6 months. I'm using the recommended yarn in a Taupe-like color, but went up a needle size because my subconcious told me to. Very splitty and hard on the hands, but will look awesome with my white prarie skirt and sparkly earrings.

Ah, there's the $1.50 update I was looking for! Cute new sweater...I almost thought you'd have started in on that ruffled top from IK. Every time I see it, I think of you!

96?! Yikes!!! Yeah, I can totally understand casting on a new summery top under those conditions.
