I guess I finally took the plunge!

It appears that this will be my very own little knitting blog. Kind of exciting. Well, for me it is, probably not as exciting for anyone else.

Since it's a knitting blog, I guess I'd better talk about knitting, or something.

Right now I'm knitting on a really, really enjoyable sweater - it's going to be a fair isle yoke pullover, knit out of Lite Lopi, main color brown, with five other colors for the fair isle.
It started out a little rough, since my gauge swatch turned out to be a rotten little liar, and I ended up casting on 45" around instead of the 38" I intended. So I had to tear out five inches or so...but once I got going again, it went much faster! Funny how that happens.


At this point, I've finished the body up to the armpits, and one of the sleeves.
The sleeves are neat - they've got fair isle up to the elbows, sort of like the Equinox Pullover from Interweave Knits. I'm a little worried that there's too much yellow in the sleeves, but I think it'll be fine as long as I use less in the yoke.
The best part about it is that I'm sort of winging it, you know? I couldn't find a pattern I liked that matched my gauge, so I've been stealing little bits of fair isle from other patterns and for the most part making it up as I go. It's FUN.
