Looking for the Magic

As I have been chatting the last few days, there has been a good amount of knitting.   Since Christmas  I'd been working on my London Fog sweater, but I really needed to get back to the Blue Coned yarn Sweater.

 I had not touched it since before Christmas.  November, I think.  It was put away because from the cones the doubled yarns are fine and thus fussy to knit with.  It is not a project to work on when you have a lot of other things going on.  As a fussy sort of project, it had the potential to sit in the corner forever. This week, I decided to pull it out and make it my weekday knitting.  

As of yesterday evening, I have split the sleeves.  Go me!  Even in its partial state, it has great sweater vibes. 

What I am looking forward to with this sweater is the feel of the yarn.  I am still under the spell of the swatch I made many months ago. When I wash this very thin stiff coned yarn, it becomes something magical.  I want that magic.
