you start a new knitting project. So you remember how blah I felt about Meredith, and how I hated the colour Walnut but how everything was going to turn out alright because the right colours were winging their way to me like the gentle drum of spring rain. Well those swelling clouds in the distance turned out to be a dry thunderstorm (like Gérard Depardieu, dancing for the approaching storm in Jean de Florette). See I never noticed that my address information on the Knitting Garden website was old, very old like 4 years old. And so.....and so (pregnant pause inserted like Alan Rickman in Sense and Sensibility ....'no doubt....no doubt you've heard') I waited by the mailbox expecting the parcel to arrive everyday. It didn't because it was being delivered elsewhere and subsequently lost to the ether of space and time. What do you do when life gives you lemons....you start a new project....cotton of course because until the last couple of days it has been warm and sticky).
Meet Loppem from Norah Gaughans Book 3 in GGH Samoa from the Stash. The gauge is a little different, but I am also going to add some very short sleeves....so watch this space....and then I'll wander through the woods like a zombie creature (because you all know when you knit something you'll end up looking like the model right? ).
Looking here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/08-cable-cardigan I really want to ask you about the pattern for the collar which seems problematic. Can you contact me?
