Cotton!
Last weekend, I complete the fist sleeve of Elise:
And, as soon as I casted off the edge, I finally grabbed cotton yarn. I have not yet finished my Elise, I have to knit the left and front part and another sleeve with its frill, BUT I cannot stand anymore, not knitting the cotton. so I did:
No no, I didn't knit them all. This might calls something to some of you, who have read my old blog. Maybe you remember this photo:
This is a cardi named Grace, in Rowan #27, my favorite volume. I have casted on this cardi in the summer of 2003. Yup. 2003! Two years-old wIP. Hey, I returned to you! The yarn is Porto Cervo in Jeans, by Filatura di Crosa. I have knitted the back in 2003, then left front in 2004 summer. Now I am knitting the right front. I say, THIS SPRING I FINISH THIS CARDI PERIOD. This is my first spring/summer project of this year and it is my resolution. I am dying to try Debbie Bliss's Cotton Cashmere, but I forbid myself to do before completing this cardi. Actually, I am enjoying very much to knit the cotton. I LOVE cotton yarn! And I am wondering if I would rip the back a little to adjust the side length and shoulder part. It looks a bit longer than the fronts and I want to do three needles bind off for the shoulder, but now I cannot do it due to the differences of the number of stitches of back and front. So....
BTW, today is "White Day" in Japan, a reversed day of St. Valentine's day. Here in Japan, February 14th is eslecially for an occation to do a gift from girls to boys, and today March 14th is the day for boys to girls. I received this from my DH:
A bunch of red roses! Wow! Well, it is nice of him!! I so would be considering to cast on his summer sweater soon, for instance....Ha ha!
