Knitty
with a small cap sleeve and a rather narrow but deep V-neck. It will take some pattern tinkering and math but I think I can manage. The model I saw at the store didn't extend the ribbing detail so high which might be a nice idea with an empire-style bodice. But I think I'll keep that part as is to avoid too much pattern rigging. Pretty, eh? Unfortunately the LYS didn't have the yarn I wised to do it in but the eBay gods were once again kind to me and I found
Debbie Bliss Cathay (cotton, viscose, silk) for less than retail (a good bit so). I feel guilty about not spending my yarn dollars to support my entrepeneur friend but I can't buy what she doesn't have and I can't always compromise that way... This will hang more loosely than the sweater in the photo; it has a slight sheen and very silky hand feel. Can't wait!
On other knitting topics, today before going to buy the additional yarn to finish Krista, I tried to begin a pair of socks using the two-at-once on two circular needles approach. NOOOOOOOO!!!! If anything could suck the joy out of sock knitting, that would be it. Never, never, never. Never! I will stick to managing five pointy double pointed needles in the space of three inches or so, thank you very much. People who like this method must knit for some reason other than the pleasure of it---way too much keeping track, paying attention...bleh.
Off to knit!
