Posh

I am waiting for the extra skeins of Tesla to arrive.  They should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday.  In the meantime I needed a knitting project. 

The criteria were simple:
    1.    easy fairly mindless knitting as I would need to do it in the car in the dark.   
    2.    skeins that did not need to be wound first.

I chose this project:

The pattern is sweater number 26 from the Spring/Summer 2005 Vogue Knitting.  I am using Stacy Charles’s Posh for the body of the sweater but I am using the recommended yarn, "Cosmos" for the border.  This is knitting up very quickly in seed stitch on size 10.25 needles.

Here is my weekend progress:

Sorry, the light is not perfect in this shot and it looks a little greener than it appears in real life.   I really like the color and the way this is turning out.  I see that this will go with many things in my fall werdrobe and I am already looking forward to getting it finished.  Of course, even though this is a spring yarn, the weather has to cool off a bit before I can wear this.

I don’t expect to make as fast of progress on the front as it is going to be a busy week.  Besides Tesla will be arriving soon to tempt me away from this project and I am making painfully slow progress on my socks.  So far I guess I am more of a sweater knitter than a sock knitter.
