FFFRRRROOOOGGGG

With my change in employment status (working for myself vs a steady paycheck) I've really needed to cut spending in a lot of areas. One specific area that has seen a drastic cut is craft supplies. A funny thing has come from that. I decided that ROSEmund, that I knit in 2013, needed to be reknit. It never fit properly and because of that I never wore it. So....I frogged it. And I'm going to knit it again and hopefully get it right!  So, I'm reusing the yarn, and I'll get to enjoy knitting with it again! 

ROSEmund

I never showed you ROSEmund in all her glory.  She came out a little looser than I wanted..and doesn't have the higher neck that the pattern photo showed (how did they do that?!?!)...but, she's still one foxy piece of knitwear! I'm thinking I may wet her and throw her in the dryer to get her a little more fitted.

And she'll look damn good with a pencil skirt this fall!

Cardigan Progress

I've been pretty busy lately, but when I've had some time, I've been working on my cardigan that I'm calling ROSEmund.  It's the Rosamund Cardigan from the Fall 2009 Interweave Knits magazine.  I'm using Berrocco yarn and it's knit from the top down, seamless, and it's reversible (sort of).  It will have short sleeves that just need to have the ribbing finished.  It's also asymmetrical as you can see.  I'm more than half way finished with it so far...I'll get it done just in time for it to be too warm to wear ;)
