I started Anniversary Sweater, in stash yarn out of my red/pink bucket, using the alternating three strand stripe method. I had to start it twice, because the first time I was watching Cloudy with A Chance 2, and I wasn't really paying attention, so I miscounted my ribbing. Oops.
I wanted to start on Alata, but I can't find my 8 circ's, I'm going to look for them, but in all likelihood I'll just go buy another set, because they're probably buried in one of my other wips.
I received a message the other day that asked some questions that I'm going to answer here:
- How long have you been knitting? Roughly ten years. I taught myself out of a book with cheap Red Heart Yarn and acrylic Susan Bates needles. I still have one of my first projects (a large fan/flame blanket for the Kid) on the needles, about 3/4 done. I'll finish it one day.
- Do you knit for a living/profit? No. I'm a hairstylist by day at Carole Lucio Salon. I knit as a way to manage my ADD and because I like it. I had an etsy shop long ago, but I spent way more than I made, and so I disabled it. I might set one back up.
- What's your favorite yarn? My favorite, favorite yarn of all time is Yarntopia's woolsilk. Its the first luxury yarn I ever bought for myself, and so not only does it knit up beautifully, it has a special emotional connection for me. Yarns I buy over and over are KnitPick's Chroma worsted (which we've already discussed) and Crystal Palace's mini mochi. I'm a sucker for long colorways within a skein, so those two always fit the bill.
- Do you have a lys you go to? I do have one, when I get a random Saturday off that I like to go hang out at. Its Yarn and Stitches and they're very lovely there.
No pictures today, because my phone is otherwise tied up.
