More weekend please.

The weekend sped by.  I wanted more time. I dreamed of more hours.  Today, I have to put it down and go back to one of my weekday projects, the ones I want finished and out of my WIPs bin.  Too bad because it's been a lot of fun.

What did I do all weekend?  This.

I.  Love.  This.   It isn't just stripes, it is colorful stripes. It isn't just plain stockinette, it's easy peasy stranded work.  It is the perfect sort of knit for a period where you might be a wee bit dispirited with the world.  Not that I am feeling down but I am very enamoured with this knit.  

I have no idea if the colours work together.  I don't care at all.  I love how it is looking.

The yarn I am using is Knit Picks Palette.  I have had a bunch in my stash forever.  I always thought I would do tons of colourwork.  I don't and this box of yarn has been on the give away list several times.  I kept it to use the greens with my miniature garden plan.  I am doubling the yarn because I want a warmer sweater than a fingering weight garment.  I also don't want it to take 11 thousand years to knit.

So, no knitting on that cool thing today.  Today, it is sleeve day.  I am about a third of the way down sleeve one on my Mrs. Hunter's sweater.  It is going to be so nice to have it off my needles, ready for cold chilly days.
