I should have realized that my list of projects seemed woefully short. I left two out, one of which was sitting right there in the middle of the floor taunting me...
Fuschia bulky cardigan. Actual knitting on this is almost done, I am on the last sleeve. It got put aside because there are about 14 different yarns in a 20 - 22 row repeat and I needed a project to take on a trip. 14 yarns makes for a lot of confusion in a car or on an airplane. Of course, when I finish knitting I will have all those yarn ends to deal with.
Antea Shell (shown above) is a little rumpled as it has been folded up in the top of my closet. It is waiting for me finish the edges.
I would pick this up and start knitting right away but my hand was a little stiff this morning knitting the Aiko sweater on 5 mm needles. Kingfisher was on 5.5 mm so I don't know why the 5 mm would bother my sore thumb more, unless it is the difference between bamboo and Addi turbos. It might be, as I find my knitting guage is different on needles of the same size but made out of different materials. I have been frequently told that this should not happen, but it does, and I have frequently changed needles if my guage was just slightly off, and a different needle material often makes the difference.
At any rate Antea was knit on 2 or 2.5 so it might have to wait just a little longer.
I love the antea shell... the colors are perfect...love the pattern...bet it will look great on!!!
