first i ripped the blue ribbed cardi. the sleeves were really starting to annoy me and i just knew that she didn't feel right. i only had the sleeves to go so i thought i'd just plow on and decide later if i liked her or not. but my sleeve issues seemed to be a sign to just stop. so i did. and i ripped and this is what is left.
and remember that orange thick/thin seed stitch scarf i made awhile back? probably not but i ripped that, too. it was simply too wide and airy for my taste. riiiip it went. i'd like to make a chunky cabled scarf out of it someday.
and my chevron tank? well i couldn't bear to look at her anymore without straps, a little too small, and in too dense of a fabric, so i tossed it. i'm sorry but i just couldn't rip her out again. i know this is awful but i feel so much better.
as you can tell from the lack of knitting content, i've kind of been in a slump lately. however the fall season is coming and the new fall patterns are so pretty and inspiring. i have no doubt that my knitting mojo will return. i also ordered some debbie bliss soho recently along with some rowan cork and polar. i am itching to start something new but i'd really like to get some more progress done on what i already have on the needles. not out of obligation but because i really want to have the finished project. so on the front of the burner are cyd and a vest for my dad. i'd like to finish my scarf style scarf but i am still trying to track some more of the discontinued color of muench touch me. until then, it'll just have to wait. one more thing to put the groove back in my knitting is that my rowan membership gift came!
2 balls of kidsilk haze in trance and a scarf pattern. this yarn is sooo lovely i could sleep in it. the kit alone made the membership worthwhile. i can't wait to see the new rowan mag. see- the magic's coming back already.
