hard works
In knitting Cactus Flower, I am thinking why I don't like to knit in circular. As you knit both back and front togather in circular, the vertical visible progress is so slow... Now I believe I must have knitted until under arm if I knit only the back, but it is yet a wide pink belt actually.
Other than that, I have another problem with the sweater: as it requires to use two strand togather, I find time to time a loop of kidsilk haze hanging in the air, dropped. After all, I have to keep attention quite regularly, even if it is straight-stockinette-circular-knitting for full body. YEEEE!
I really love this sweater, but I have kind of difficulty to enjoy knitting it. My current motivation to go ahead is to start next project, Chelsea from YarnPlay.
And the reason why I chose this compared with Chelsea, is just the yarn was ready for immediate use, the swatch for gage has been done, it was totally ready for start. For Chelsea, I am on the road to wind twelve skeins into center pull ball to start. So in the meantime, I would start to wind them...
BTW, Tokyo is now suddenly cold, we have to put winter cloth rather than autumn one. And I have my Electra unprepared....
This is a nicely-weaved-all-ends-side, but the rest...is....
I am not tend to weave PERFECTLY ALL odd ends of the cardi, actually I just want to do the needed least part, which is visible if I don't do. Yet it just make me give a deep sigh. Lazy me.
Oh, but people, I, Tricoquelicot declare herewith, that I determine to make it within this winter!!!

Weaving in ends is dreary...but you can do it! That's one of my favorite sweaters that you have made. The colors are so beautiful!

It does go slowly knitting in the round, I'm doing it myself. BUT when your done, there is no second whole side to make! That's definitely a plus. And no seams to sew up.
The sweater looks great. I love the colors.
