Remember last week, when I was sulking because it had been such a long time since I bought any yarn and I was hoping to get some for my anniversary? Well…..
My little pity-party purchase came in the mail! I guess it ended up being fairly unnecessary, since Matt came through like a champ with the yarn from San Francisco, but I'm still really excited about knitting something for summer. I bought 6 skeins, which should be plenty to knit Glee by Zephyr Style.
But I told myself I would cast on until I finished the sleeve of the Hempathy sweater…. so here it is!
(Yeah, yeah, it's not supposed to be short sleeved. But I think I will run out of yarn otherwise. Seriously, I decided to go short-sleeved way before my new yarn showed up!)
In other news… AfricanKelli has inspired me to to start training for a triathlon. Look for the old "Running Fridays" feature to start again – hopefully it will keep me motivated and accountable for my training!
Love the yarn! I’m using the same stuff on a sweater and it’s so nice to knit with. I can’t wait to see how Glee looks with the yarn.
Yea! another Glee in EL! It is a great knit
and isn’t Kelli so inspirational? She has me thinking about a tri too, and I am such a bad swimmer…
Isn’t Kelli amazing? I wish you the best in your training, as well!!
I’ll be looking for updates on glee. I love the look of that sweater PLUS you have one of my favorite yarns, silky tweed. That color is beautiful!
I hope to start Glee soon, too. Love your color!
Good luck with your training!
We seem to be on the same wavelength. I do have the same Silky Tweed colour, AND I’m going to be using the Hempathy. I think that Glee is a great choice by the way! (Seriously, size 2 needles for the Hempathy? I’m going to have to rethink things. *sigh*)
ohhh your Hempathy sleeve is so lovely! I love the blue. Glee is going to look smashing in that color : )
Oooh I can’t wait to see that Glee in Silky Tweed, I absolutely adore that yarn!!
Suuuuure you decided to make it short sleeved before the arrival of the new yarn. We totally believe you.
Just kidding — I think it will look great short-sleeved! And the fact that you’ll get to play with your new yarn sooner is just a side benefit.
Glee will be lovely in that color!
I bow down to your athleticism. A triathalon? Wow.
