And I would have been wrong. In the past two weeks I have not been able to get the Kaleidoscope out of my head. Since I took the above picture Monday night I have finished the body and knit seven inches on the first sleeve. I just can't stop! I tried it on last night with a tank top and found it to be completely charming. I am glad I decided not to try the modifications for a higher neck but rather stuck with the original almost off the shoulder design. This might be the beginning of a new aesthetic for me.
The best part is that all the guys at work have been completely fascinated by it. They've watched the garment come together from when I cast on for the opening weekend of The Avengers. Last night one asked me just how many sweaters I had knit for myself. I had to stop and really think about it, but I could not give him a definitive answer. I guess I really can call myself a Knitter.

Sounds like it's coming together perfectly. I just love Ravelry for that - checking other Ravelers' notes and adopting some of their mods. It certainly had made my projects more successful!
ReplyDeleteFabulous, what pattern are you knitting. I prefer the straight forward type of knitting, not stuff that you have to count and concentrate with. I never get to knit in a quiet environment so the mindless works better; plus I do it to relax...thinking hard isn't relaxing to me...it's tiring. I'm tired from work so don't need more too tire me. Glad you've got so much done.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and I'm glad you enjoying knitting it up!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you're fascinated - I love that colorway!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! Love both the style and the colourway.
