I did a bad thing.
Even though I had a campfire sweater already on the needles, I went on Ravelry and searched for sweater patterns. I don’t know why I do this to myself. I found a pattern called Mariah, I fell in love, I ripped out the mostly-done sleeve I had on the needles. (Which belonged to a pattern that may or may not have been based on the sweater Bella wears in some Twilight movie or other, the fact of which makes me feel dirty.) Let us never speak of it again.
Sleeve, schmeeve, the new pattern has cables! And I love cables, I love them so, because they are so simple but they look so complicated and it makes me feel smart.
No longer will I be stuck wearing a sweater associated with a certain fluffy teen series! Instead I will lounge around a fire, in the dark, pleased as a cat with cream that I’m wearing a fancy sweater I made myself with fancy cables no one else will even see.
Now comes the part with the actual, you know, knitting of the thing. I have an inch of sleeve done. I want it finished in time for Fall, because I already picked out a hat to make for Winter…

That’s one cool hat! 🙂
I thought so too! I don’t know if I’d be brave enough to wear it, but I gotta make it for someone!
Love the hat! I can’t knit. My mom has tried teaching me but the problem is she has to keep reteaching me because I can never remember how to do it!
Once you get the hang of it it sticks with you. I tend to knit on and off, a few months here, a few there, and I always think I’ll forget when I pick it up. If you asked me to describe how to knit I’d be lost but my fingers remember 🙂
