"There's dust on my guitar/ and it's all your fault/ and you've paralyzed my mind and for that, you suck/Ooohh"
I don't even remember who sang that song, but they used to show it on Saturday morning cartoons when I was a wee sprong.
Anyways, how have you been? As for me, I've spent the time reading good books by Suzanne Brockmann - who writes really good stories with characters that make me cackle until three am in the morning. Right now, I'm totally mooning over the plight of Jules and Robin - my gay one true pairing (OTP).
I've also spent the past two weeks knitting the short sleeved cardigan - only to face the facts: the slubbed, lived in texture of this yarn doesn't suit the crisp sunny nature of this cardigan. Probably a smooth cotton/bamboo or a bamboo tape would have worked. Alas, cotone cardi, we hardly knew ye.
So, I'm gonna rip it back and do a Tomato from no sheep for you. The Stella yarn is a slightly better yarn than the blue sky alpaca cotton (the recommended yarn) in the sense that the Stella yarn hides the pilling well, and with its silk/cotton/rayon mix, it should be comfortable to wear. I've never really committed to a top down garment to its completion, so I'm going to be putting the foot down on this baby. I want three tops for Spring, and this is top no. 1.
My weekend will be the following:
- Rip yarn
- Wind yarn in hanks, dampen and let dry
- Wind into balls
- Do swatch
- Start knitting - Sunday night.
We will see.
I hope to update on Sunday (tomorrow evening), or mid week the latest. See you then!
Have you ripped back anything lately?

I'm excited to see the new incarnation of this yarn! The color seems very rich. That's so great that you are wearing the heck out of your Phildar sweater. So often we make things and they get very little wear.
I am doing some ripping myself. My collegiate scarf will become fingerless gloves (dark gray), an antler scarf (dark green) and an urchin beret (light green).
