More Sweaters than I can Knit

The new Knitty is up. And there are all kinds of beautiful things to knit --- oh my!

But I actually am getting more selective, even though you might have reason to doubt that given the number of patterns I have fallen in love with in the past few months.

These two sing to me:

This seamless pullover in superwash merino by Jordana Paige  (Amused) is just the kind of thing I would want to pull on over and over.  Seamless has never really been my thing, but I am intrigued by this one and as I said, the style is perfect for me. I don't even have to do any fiddling with length, not that length is the most difficult adjustment, especially not in this sweater with its expanses of stockinette. I wouldn't even need to knit the longest length, 25.75 inches would be about perfect, and would make it about the same length as Granite.

And the sweater that I think is really fabulous is Surface by Norah Gaughan.  It actually took me a while to find it.  I clicked on everything else in the thumbnails.  I am not always meticulous or clear-headed and somehow I just thought it was a little bolero or short wrap; all that registered in my brain was the top wrap and the collar.

I stand corrected.  This sweater must be added to my queue.

But I still have much to knit ahead of it.  Linden has slowed again, only two rows knitted yesterday.  At least I am now at the end of the straight section at  the bottom and ready for the decreases.  It is not boring at any stage because of the cables, but cables and decreases, now that's excitement.

I see it is finally starting to snow again as I write this.  Good.  I might have knitting time today.  Yesterday snow-shoveling really hampered my knitting.  I learned I can't knit when I am lying on my back with my legs up on my chair -- hence only those two rows. Today I think I will finally get the Christmas decorations out (the cards were done yesterday) and get to knit by little twinkling lights and a white white world.

The snow was terrible! I did manage a bit of train knitting, only to discover that I'd forgotten to pack an extra ball of yarn! Darn!

So many things I want to knit right now as well, and these sweaters are among them (also like the KnitOne vest and the simple garter cardigan you've pictured a few posts back -- I also got impatient waiting for it and am very happy with the issue).
Have to take it easy, though, as my left shoulder/neck gets problematic quickly -- my supporting arm. Not quite like your snow-shovelling back, but still, we knitters do need our bodies to stay in shape, don't we!
