Kashmir Heaven
February 19, 2010
Not much knitting has been accomplished the last couple of days and lack of process equals lack of progress. When knitting isn't in at hand my mind jumps ahead to the next project and start-itis looms. (It would be so easy to cast on just one more thing!) Too much time is given to making queues of desire. I need to stay with the knitting of the moment and not be swayed.
When Sprössling is in hand she is all I can see and feel. Focus returns. The stitches create a simple lace fabric of soft luxury…pure knitting heaven. Tonight's focus is to finish the back, which is a little more than half way there, and perhaps, one front piece over the weekend. When given proper attention knitting grows.You have one more day to comment on Jesselu's Bloggiversary post and you have a good chance of winning as she's giving away 5 prizes! It would be wonderful if we could get her comment count to 300! Go do it.
Pssst...Birdsong is also have a contest so make your way to her blog and comment, too!!
That's a lovely yarn/pattern combo.

Beautiful. I love this sweater and that Anne had several different body types wearing it lets me see that even short, busty me has a shot at looking good! Can't wait to how lovely tall, slender you will look!

Is Sprossling as squooshy as she looks?

I think you will look so hot in that sweater. I love it and it was designed with you in mind (in my humble opinion). I'm headed back over to JessaLu's!! Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend, girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean! I have a couple of projects I really want to start but I need to finish my sweater first. Discipline isn't very fun!

I have the same skeins marinating in my stash though not enough for a sweater. Yours is beautiful! Sounds like you are making good progress on her. Keep up the great work. :-)

Sprossling is going to be so beautiful.

I'm so glad you aren't giving in to the temptation of starting something new. So much easier to finish what's in your hands if you don't put it down and start something new. ;^)

You truly want to see my head explode, don't you. ;o) Well, I love you for it - thanks for the 2nd mention! xoxo

Your Sprössling looks fantastic. Do you know the meaning of "Sprössling"? It is German and means baby, litte child, little boy, bud.
Have a nice weekend.
