It seems like it had been months since I had been to my LYS for knitting group and so there were all kinds of things to look at Thursday night. One thing that did catch my eye was a new book by Plymouth yarn called Earthworks by Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton.
I was particularly attracted to the cover sweater and looking at the photo now I can see why I like it.
I didn't buy the book though because I didn't really like any of the other patterns, and even more importantly there was a photo of the back view of this sweater that I thought was completely unattractive and ill-fitting. I can't find a back view photo on the web because I would like to look at it again.
I didn't actually read the pattern so I don't know if if this is a problem or not, or something I can work with. I only know that this pattern is really sticking in my mind and I can't quite shake it. This makes it definitely worth another look.
I won't be making it in the original ecco baby camel yarn because although I would probably love knitting with the yarn the natural camel color makes me look like I have been out buried in the sand for far too long.
Anyway, I have successfully managed to fritter away my time today fretting over this pattern and ironing and pressing fabric for future sewing problems. It was a good day to stand over a hot iron.
I really need to devote some time to seaming Linden tomorrow, so that hopefully I can knit the last sleeve, or I can rip and start the sleeves over. At least I will be able to knit something.

This is pretty. Looks like a bed jacket.
