What Now ? ? ? ?

Sasha ....... T H E S K I R T!

A fun ruffled skirt with a knit-in waistband casing. The construction of this piece is quite interesting with the underskirt knit as one piece and divided in sections by a purl row. The underskirt is knit using one colorway. Ruffles are added by picking up stitches in the purl rows!! Sasha is a Louet pattern and knit with Eurolax - 100% Wet Spun Linen.

My Sasha will be knit to a 30" length using Autumn Maple for the underskirt, Soft Coral for the top ruffle, Caribou for the middle ruffle and Berry Red for the 3rd ruffle!

So far - So good and I'm ready to start the final section of the underskirt, this section involves lots of stitches! But once the underskirt is finished, the real fun will begin and the lace ruffles will be worked.

Underskirt...............I love the Autumn Maple Colorway!

Style with a Capital "S"

You gotta love her...Carrie Bradshaw blogs in a Nina Ricci Ostrich feather sweater....while I blog in Hanes flannel PJ's and white cotton socks! The girl (Carrie) has real style with a capital "S".

A Monogamous Knitter

Yeah, that's what I USE to be!

I wonder what happened to my faithfulness to a project? What happened to the fidelity? Where is the Knitting Diva that immersed herself in one knit at a time? In the old days, I liked how that one special project captured my imagination, how the fiber of a project attached itself to my fingers like Velcro! I was definitely a one project at a time gal.

Now I constantly toy with the idea of starting a Fair Isle hat OR a Fair Isle sweater OR maybe those socks I day dreamed about for months and what about one of the many shawls in my queue. While being drawn to the latest knitting book or magazine, I discover a gorgeous sweater calling my name! In all fairness to myself, I certainly don't start everything (I Love); but, let's just say I do purchase many yarns and patterns for numerous future projects.

My issues with fidelity are not usually from boredom or the difficulty of a project...No Siree....it's the thrill, that kindle of emotions, the simple HIGH from starting the perfect knit.

With all that said, these days it is the norm for me to have three or four projects active at a time.


So..... I'm not a Monogamous Knitter, I'm happy and more addicted to knitting than ever!
