Done with Sweaters

I think I am just about done with sweaters for the season.
I've been dreaming of lace and sock projects.

Check out this obsession du jour:

Maplewing


Wow.

I'll be spending the day in self-assessment. Can I handle the Maplewing?

Obsession du jour

Photo stolen with kindness and admiration
from Knit and Tonic, the author of the pattern and the book that features it.

It's so very Audrey Hepburn, no? I've been trying Audrey on lately. I didn't realize it until my good friend noted it. You should see my outfit today. So very Miss A.

Creative juices are so hard to keep at bay.

Obsession du jour

On my 30th birthday I bought a stash of Rowan Scottish Tweed Aran at WEBS. I've been trying to find the right pattern for it. I get a new idea every day. This is the current front runner. Raveled. It appeals for the following reasons:

1. simple design
2. extremely wearable
3. the prototype is knit in the same yarn and colorway i have
   
4. cozy
5. no hood (who'm I kiddin'? I don't really like wearing them. Sorry, CPH.)
6. apparently the pattern is making an appearance in the winter Knit.1

What do you think?

Disclaimer: I'm going to change my mind and come up with about 500 more ideas.

Obsession du jour

I wanna make this now(!):

I've spent about an hour of my day looking at it, considering yarn choices, colors, what the cheapest yarn choice would be, etc.

Then I remembered that I have a sweater's worth of yarn for a sweater for Hubby and 1/3 of a sweater on the needles for me. On to the next idea....

Such is the life of a knitter.
