Juliet Has Been Cast.... On :)

Well, how prophetic... I commented earlier today on someone else's post that I had not started yet and was waiting for my yarn. It came in the mail. :) I'm using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky in Sky.

So, I cast on for Juliet. I immediately ran into a problem: lost stitch markers. Yikes! What to do..... use yarn bits? Nah! Make a new set!! :)



Okay, back to knitting..... between grocery shopping, kids, dinner, picking up from Awana and a trip to Home Depot, I managed to get 13 rows in tonight. Not bad, all things considered. And the beauty of bulky yarn is seeing big results in few rows. :) As of 2 am (and fall asleep at the needles), this is where I stand:


Thanks for looking!

I changed the lace skirt for one with a stronger vertical line to counterbalance the strong horizontal from the color blocks. Stash knitting sometimes makes me get creative, sometimes just weird. I haven't yet decided which this is. It's definitely colorful. Sexy? maybe. ;)

i'm knitting three!

at the present time i am knitting tree jacket without the lacey stitch on the body in olive bamboo. i am also knitting a juliet for myself of cascade pima silk in pistachio and i am knitting a second juliet for the grandaughter in cotton fleece new age teal. the new age teal is the focus as the grandaughter is chomping at the bit to wear her to school! i chose bright colors for this project but i also love the pastel colors and the neutral colors just as well. everyone's juliet looks great! this is going to one of those sweaters like fifi that looks fabulous on everyone. here's my progress so far on the teal.
