Something finally for me . . .


sorry the pics suck, camera phone, my good camera has to go to the shop) The first pics color is way more accurate.


Pattern: Calorimetry
Source: Knitty
Materials: Araucania's Nature Wool Chunky | 100% Wool
Source: RAKed Stash
Color: Deep Green | Color Number: 20 looks more like 107 I don't have a ballband to tell you for sure
Needles: US 8 (5.00mm) | US 10 (6.00mm) for Bind Off | ( Knitpicks 24" Options circulars
Started: April 10, 2007 | Finished: April 11, 2007

My fastest project to date and it hurt to do. I only had four rows left and the bind off and weaving in left this morning. I love the look but think I may need to make another in a different color that is more contrasting to my blonde. I have a dark wine red that I could use and I just may do it soon since the cold weather doesn't want to leave. I also may go down a needle size to make it a little smaller other than that it's great and Ju wants one now too.

Remember when . . . .

So I'm digging through the stash and you remember back in August when I got RAKed, well I'm still not doing the fetching gloves for myself, slacker, but I'm thinking of doing the Calorimetry from Knitty. The cold weather just doesn't want to go away and last Thursday at knitting group a girl had one and I thought "Well shoot that shouldn't give me headaches. So I'm digging through the small stash I have and I'm looking at all my RAKed stuff and trying to decided what I should knit with, since it's still my biggest part of my stash other than the sock yarn and kitchen cotton both not ideal for this pattern. I'll let you know how I fair on color and yarn decisions later. For now it's letting the screaming horde out of their chairs so they can play a little before nap.
