A Sweater for Moi?
I keep seeing the MinimalistCardigan on the Knitting Blogosphere (here, here, and here). I can't help but be inspired to make one for myself.
I am not a sweater knitter. I live in S. Texas--I get to wear sweater for a total of a week (and not always in the same span of 7 days) during the "winter". So what's the point of spending months (I am a slow AND distracted knitter) knitting a sweater I might wear for only a day or so--AND stink up with my pesky BO.
However, it's a cardigan. It's light, it's cute, and it's just the thing for the overly A/C indoor Texas. I am tempted by the wool or alpaca blends--but really in S. Texas. I wonder if a cotton would work??

As if I don't have enough WIPs...I started a new one, BUT I had to--no bunnies involved this time tho'. I made a promise to my niece this summer to make her birthday socks. I started them yesterday so far I am past the toe and nearly completed the first heart repeat. Her birthday is later this month--I am hoping these knit up fast since their so little.
Lorelei isn't impressed--she thinks Ivy won't like the yarn. I told her she isn't getting the yarn but the SOCKS...and not to worry I will make her a matching pair.
