For Spring

Yeah.  The Hacho sweaters endless rounds are really a pain. It is taking some gumption to keep going but keep going I will.  I am thinking about other things though.

I am thinking about knitting for spring knits.  I need a few more tops but there  is also the part where they are quick.  Less sleeve work or no sleeves at all.  I can do that.

I am going to make at least one more Tolsta Tee.  I have this rich blue, a marine blue but not navy, Butterly Cotton that I only have four skeins of and I am going to stripe it with something, possibly a red for anotber Tolsta.  Or a gold.  I have some gold that is not going to be made into the intended sweater because I really do not like mosaic knitting. Not sure which colour though. Both will look great.

I also have been thinking about knitting another Blanche.  It is such an easy wearing sweater and in summer, I reach for it all the time.  I have yarn that I want to use for it.  Do you recall that green sock yarn that has been tried as several different sweaters?  Yeah.  I might try that again though honestly, I am a little afraid of that yarn.  I am not sure I am ready for it yet again.

I am thinking about the nifty Hortensia Tee too.   I love the way the neck is detailed.  I may have some simple yellow cotton and linen yarn that would look great in this simple tee.   Or there is some washed brick red bamboo.  I love the feel of bamboo for summer wear.

I have some linen in a lace weight that I have been saving for a top.    There are three colours, a white, a light grey and a medium dark grey.  They would make a seriously delicious Theros Tee.  See that little lace design? I am utterly charmed by that.  It would be so sweet and in linen?  I think it would be superb.

There is also the very pretty Lotus Lake Tee by Anniina Juuti.  I love that lace detail.  It would be so pretty over some of my simple dresses.  I am not quite sure which yarn to make it in.  I wish I had some pure linen.  Oh, I know what would be great.  I have some silk that might be just the thing.  Or a silk and linen. Whatever I make it in, it sure is a pretty pattern.

There are so many great tops out there that it is hard to decide.  Sari Nordlund  has several patterns I could knit right now. By several I means dozens.  And then there are all the simple shapes that I know I like to wear, like Henley neck tops and easy sleeveless vest shapes.  

The array of things I could knit is endless.  I wish there were more hours in a day.

Update:  

The Hacho sweater is now at 12 inches.  Just an inch and a half to go before the short row section.  Yippeeeeee.
