Sins of Omission

I should have realized that my list of projects seemed woefully short.  I left two out, one of which was sitting right there in the middle of the floor taunting me…

Fuschia bulky cardigan.  Actual knitting on this is almost done, I am on the last sleeve.  It got put aside because there are about 14 different yarns in a 20 – 22 row repeat and I needed a project to take on a trip.  14 yarns makes for a lot of confusion in a car or on an airplane.  Of course,  when I finish knitting I will have all those yarn ends to deal with.

Antea Shell (shown above) is a little rumpled as it has been folded up in the top of my closet.  It is waiting for me finish the edges. 

I would pick this up and start knitting right away but my hand was a little stiff this morning knitting the Aiko sweater on 5 mm needles.  Kingfisher was on 5.5 mm so I don’t know why the 5 mm would bother my sore thumb more, unless it is the difference between bamboo and Addi turbos.  It might be, as I find my knitting guage is different on needles of the same size but made out of different materials.  I have been frequently told that this should not happen, but it does, and I have frequently changed needles if my guage was just slightly off, and a different needle material often makes the difference.

At any rate Antea was knit on 2 or 2.5 so it might have to wait just a little longer.
