Hi Ho It's Off to Work We Go....
I am wondering how long do you knit a day. Just an avg. Not the marathon weekend hours but say 30 mins M-F and 2 hrs S&S so 6.5hrs/7= ummm whatever.... 45 mins? Something like that. Drop me a line please just for fun.
So I am working on my sweater. Yes the Olympia design. The design is done done but the knitting is not. To give you a clue to how short I was gonna be on yarn I am on my 6th hank out of 10 and still on the back. I am guessing 7 for the back 7 for the front and 2 for each sleeve for a total of 18 balls needed. Guessing. Either way I am glad I didn't knock myself out trying to finish this sweater since it woulda been impossible anyways. Tho I did easily knit a hank/day before I realized I was out o luck. I am also not going to show you a picture.
I am getting a wee bit annoyed cause I was reading a blog this past month and left a comment about the nifty link to yarns [I think it was icelandic] and now cannot figure out who the blogger was. Even tho she kindly sent me a reply to my comment. And no I don't expect all seeing blog readers to figure it out for me. Just annoyed. BUT while trolling through every likely sounding link in my 3 weeks old history folder I came accross these beauts:
AND from the same company:
Another company did these three pics the third of which shows several pieces:
In the first one I particularly like the asymetrical front openings and want somebody to explain to me how its done. Well I know how it is done but I want somebody to send me the pattern or direct me to where I can buy the pattern cause I am a lazy slob. I never do the math unless I have to. If nobody can find the pattern then I will. Do the math that is. Cause I am telling you right now~ that sweater rocks!
OK yarny days and knitterly evenings
