In all actuality, I could have been finished with my Marion cardigan. Then, I started reading Game of Thrones. Why oh why did I do that??? Once I picked up the book, I put down the needles. It is so engrossing. Well, yesterday I finished the book and started to read Book 2 of the series. But, before I got completely engrossed in book 2 I did pick the needles back up to make some headway with my cardigan.
I am really enjoying the project so far. The cable does keep things interesting and stops it from being a boring knit. I am anxious to finish it. I am already dreaming about my next projects.
I plan on joining the challenge that Andi of Untangling Knots put out. I want to finish a Christmas sweater in 2014. I actually ordered the yarn for this Vivien sweater last summer but, I put off knitting the fingering weight stranded colorwork sweater. However, if I commit to working on this over the year then, hopefully I will be more motivated to finish it. I chose the colors red, green, royal blue, and parchment. I definitely feel those qualify as seasonal colors so, I am calling this my Christmas sweater for 2014.
The other project I plan on starting is Miette in an orange color. I will be using yarn from my stash because I am really trying to do some stash busting.
Well, those are the few updates in my life for now. I’ll keep you posted on the projects…
I’ve been thinking about joining Andi’s Christmas sweater challenge too. The pattern you’ve picked out for the challenge will be perfect!
You should and thank you! I have been wanting to make this pullover for awhile now and Andi gave me the perfect idea with this challenge.
