The Last Class
Saturday, February 19, 2005

I have my last machine knitting class tomorrow. I want to take the next one, too; I hope there are spaces left. The sweater we're making is so fugly. It's a nice shade of teal wool, almost the same color as "Remembering Honey", but the style is yucksville. it's got drop shoulders and dolman-type sleeves and mock rib at the cuffs and hems. I hate sweaters with tight cuffs and bottom hems. So unflattering. But I'm learning how to use the machine, so that's good. They teach more interesting things in the next class.

I don't want to get up tomorrow! Seven is way too early to get up on a Sunday morning. On a cold Sunday, too boot.

Ugh.

On the lighter side, I'm taking a break from Tweedy Cardigan hell to knit Kyle a big, striped roll neck. It's the "Marine Pullover" from Hollywood Knits Style by Suss Cousins. My gauge came out different, so I reconfigured the pattern a la Stitch 'n Bitch Nation's directions. Boy, do I hate math. Kyle doesn't know what a lucky man he is, that I would break out the calculator just so he can have a handknit sweater.
