i’ve been rather bored lately, so this shall be the next item on my list to tackle. i want to try to knit the cardigan in the first stitch and bitch because it seems rather straight forward. i wanted to get some yarn today but my sizing always comes up small with these patterns and i think it’s because i always use a different yarn than they recommend. so i’m going to try and find the same yarn this time and i’ll actually knit a swatch to prepare for decent sizing.

i usually go to commuknity and become overwhelmed with the variety (and the prices, oh my). this time i’ll try the knitting room. it’s smaller, older & much less trendy. plus, they tend to carry the yarn that debbie stoller likes to use in her books. i think i’ll try black, with grey detailing. that way it’ll hide the mistakes, match my work clothes and be slimming!
