This Lady Knits

Well it’s the start of a New Year and again I cast on a sweater. Maybe I will actually finish this one this year, the one I started last year on New Year’s Day is still patiently waiting to be sewn together and for a button band. This year’s sweater? Well back when I lived in CA, I did Symbolic Knots, if you’re curious you can find it here.  That sweater has seemed to have grown legs and disappeared on me, and I so loved it.  So I’m doing it again sort of.  Still using a Melissa Leapman pattern but this one out of her newest book, Continuous Cables, the pattern is Quick to Knit Bulky Pullover, same pattern on the front, the only real difference is this time it will have a small amount of waist shaping, where the first one didn’t.

On that note, I’ll be casting on at least 1 project a day for 6 more days, my So. Cal Knitting group is doing a group knit along and starting the new year with 7 days of casting on .  The name of this GKA is Feel like a Fl00zy GKA.   If you’re of a mind to, cast on along with us, the only rule here is cast on one a day or more if you feel like it.  There is no rule that says when you are expected to finish by or even that you have to finish.  Oh yeah, I forgot the one other rule have FUN.  This is guilt free casting on to start the New Year.
