I remembered 2 other knitting projects I either have in process or will need to have done soon. One I can't list here because it's a Christmas present and the other one I will need to make because I just bought myself a leather coat!! I just HAVE to have a scarf for it!!
So that adds two items to my list. Yikes!!
Oh, crap. Just thought of another. It's not a UFO and it's not a time-pressed USO (UnStartedObject)
either so that's a relief but I do want to start it at some point. Soon. When I was in St Charles in August for the Stitches Midwest event, I purchased some unbelievably gorgeous yarn and a pattern to make a button down sweater. Sounds old fashioned? Hardly. It's a v-neck mohair sweater and the pattern is 16, count them, 16 pages long. No kidding. There are so many different stitches used that the gauge swatch covers nearly all of the different stitches.
The yarn is from Brooks Farm Fiber (they don't have a website). Brooks Farm is a Texas-based farm that raises colored angora goats and provides hand-dyed mohair based yarns, spinning fibers and fleece. I picked out an amazing blue and purple combination, I'll try to get a picture out on my website.
The pattern is from Koenig Farms and they do have a website (www.koenigfarms.com). The pattern is one of their originals so under patterns look for Koenig Farms. It's the one called Trellising Mohair Sweater.
So I guess - if nothing else I can do the swatch - I have to make sure I have the right gauge, right??
