I Miss Blogging

I'm thinking of concentrating on my knitting and reading and getting healthier. Right now I am almost finished with a sweater. I can't remembered how many sweaters I've started but I think I only finished one before this one and it is too snug. I working on a yoked cardigan made of Cherry Hill's Oceania yarn. I bought the yarn several years ago. At that time (I was a new knitter) I was mostly impressed with the fact that one skein was enough to complete a sweater. I'm learning that is not a good reason to buy yarn. I don't like the yarn because: The color is coming off on my fingers because the tag says it knits at 4.5 stitches per inch, i'm getting 6 stitches per inch and finding that a bit loose And because it is sparkly. I like it because: I have plenty of yarn The colors (tropical storm) are gorgeous It was in my stash I like it enough to spend a zillion hours making it and I think I will like it enough to wear.
