I'm just about to cast on for a sweater, but I know I'm going to regret it, because there's no way I'll be done before the weather heats up here and it's going to sit in hibernation for a looong time. I'm hoping that I'll feel like knitting socks all year long, tho!

Want to squeeze a 'Dragonfly Jumper' in before it gets too warm to wear it.<br /><br />Love the sleeves on the 'Still' pattern...very 70's-ish retro. I haven't seen much of that silhouette lately and it is refreshing after all the same-y slim fitting sleeves out there.

I'm just finishing a cute fleece pajama set, hemming some never worn (5 years!) storebought wool pants, and cutting out a really simple wool skirt. However, all my other projects; including that Moss skirt, are for spring. Luckily, everything is coming from the stash!lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-39934572873324480372013-02-23T13:40:00.211-06:002013-02-23T13:40:00.211-06:00You are inspiring me to stay with my current/secon...You are inspiring me to stay with my current/second attempt to knit a fit-to-me sweater from the Gemini pattern<br /><br />HugsGerryARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730757811478587648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-64473195164011619902013-02-23T09:06:15.096-06:002013-02-23T09:06:15.096-06:00Oh my goodness, that fabric is stunning.
