In the meantime, it isn't like there isn't plenty to knit.
I pulled out this pretty thing and worked on that most of the afternoon. It is now over nine inches long so I am just over halfway on the body. This is thrilling because with the very lacey mohair, its a slower knit than most. Still, it is a gift and I can't wait to see Luda wear it. Christmas maybe?
I am also thinking hard about the next thing I really want to work on, and surprisingly, it may very well be one that is already in the stream of WIPS.
It is the Scandinavian Star Vest from Chryl Oberle's Folk Vests. This was one of the first books I bought when I started knitting. It was a bit 'old' even then, but it is filled with timeless things. My fingers are looking forward!
Do take a look at these older project books. There are some really wonderful pieces in them and I hate the thought of them going missing for a generation till the knitter's of the future find them on some dusty shelf in an abandoned library. Find them now. Enjoy them now. Get the word out.
