IK. how I love thee!

The new Interweave Knits arrived, and it is chock full of sweaters I want to knit, no, need to knit…oh dear, whatever shall I do?

Summer sweaters galore, plus at least one other that I love but which would take substantial math and pattern alteration to make it work for me.  Not that it might not be worth it mind you.

However as I have just spent the last couple of hours poring over the new engineering drawings of "the deck that ate Hyde Park" more math is beyond me.  I know my state of mind may improve, my budget prospects may not however.  There is little to be done.  The cliff exists.  The house is built on the cliff, the pool is attached to the house. The pool is only partially supported, which is why the old pool deck was falling down. 

At least I have yarn for several of these sweaters, some just purchased from the late lamented Yarn Swift, including the dreaded math challenge,  otherwise known as "looking glass".

The sweater itself looks simple and fun to knit.  There is a cable going up the center back as well.  Therein lies the problem.  Even with the general forgiving nature of knits, a cable knit up the center of a balanced sweater will  not go up the center of my own torqued elipse of a form.  Math will be required.  Not insurmountable math mind you, but probably not the kind of math that will result in mindless knitting.

Well there is nothing like a good challenge. I am sure I will get to it. 

Someday.
