On the Needles





And likely to remain on the needles for quite a while...

This is my first 'sample' sweater (I'm making three or four of them for a Seattle designer). It's knit using two strands of a beautiful cashmere/silk yarn from China, on size 2 needles, in the mesh pattern at the top of the swatch.

Since the gauge is 7 sts-1" I am going to be knitting away on this garment for a while I think. I *can't wait* to start on the black version (not).

knitting this in black? "You'll put your eye(s) out, kid!!!"
Best of luck! The beginnings are beautiful.

And to think he will eventually have some little asian lady replicate it on a machine . . .

isn't that the truth. Maybe I need to find one to do this job! And there's another stitch pattern he wants that's maybe even worse...

I have no idea what any of that means, but it sounds like a bitch. Especially if you're going to lose your eyesight over it.
