A Tea and Cocoa Day

Sleeves?  No.  Not sleeves.

My hands did not seem interested in sleeves on a Flea, no matter how much fun knitting that sweater is.  My hands have their own mind and what they wanted was the Tolsta Tee.  

It seems they decided that they were taking the Tolsta to the underarms.  It was a very chilly day yesterday, and I think my heart wanted the warmth this yarn seems to impart. Tolsta it was, and I am into the second broken rib stripe.  Knitting this stripe is going to go fast.  It seems to speed along like nobody's business.

Gauge on this sweater see has ended up at 16 stitches per 4 inches, a bit larger than pattern gauge but just right for this doubled yarn.  Still, it is nothing to worry about.  I will be knitting to fit rather than sticking to the written numbers.   It still is a Tolsta because that is where I started.

 One of the interesting things that knitting from cones means, is that I needed something to hold the cones so they didn't fall and roll away.  

This bag held my Linger sweater that turned into a vest.  Since that project is done, it was sitting empty and after some frustration after cones did, indeed, go rolling, I tossed them in the bag and here we are.  

Perfect.  That bit of containment is making this knitting fun.  (Well, all knitting is fun.)  I am going to use this bag for my next cone project.  For all the cone projects.  

I think I am going to follow my hands again today.  Knitting on this is really perfect for the weather at the moment.  It will be chilly again today so I think tea and cocoa will follow.
