Wicked Michigander

Let me begin by saying I am proud to be a Michigander. And this hoodie...well this hoodie rocks. Flat out...its awesome.

Now...on to the knitting.

I am proud to say I have finally moved on from washcloths and mittens and into a more exciting project that I actually feel like posting about. (Now don't get me wrong...mittens and washcloths are definitely post-worthy...its just that I have been reusing the same pattern again and again, and they are all packed up in a box and on their merry way to Texas and I didn't even take a picture...)Moving on, that pretty lil' thang up there is Wicked! I am using a superwash merino, hand dyed at Woven Art. There are numerous things I love about this pattern...#1 Its so so cute...Gay's finished Wicked is what inspired me to knit this little diddy up #2 I love the helpful hints thru-out the pattern on ways to shape and size so that it fits the individual how it should #3 i plan to do the short-sleeve version, which means I had to buy only 1 skein of this yarn! (ok so it was a 500 yard skein) but still to make a sweater for under $30.00...n.i.c.e.

And finally...I was so excited about Wicked that I went back to Zephyrstyle.com and ordered Rusted Root. I l.o.v.e. the puckered sleeves. Again...a sweater for under $30.00! I am using the recommended Brown Sheep cotton fleece yarn, but in "Mint Condition".

So yes my friends, I am back...with a vengeance. Its time to get my knitting freak on...and I have been doing so in every spare minute of my day!
