but I'm joining in on the knit-along hosted by the curly headed NY Knitter, Lis. I won't be doing elfin though, I might do the Zoe Mellor daisy cardigan from Rowan 25. Elfin is a lovely design, very elegant, but I'm not entirely sure about that all the fluffy bit around my hands and neck...and I do have a few things that I would like to finish for Christmas. That fluffy bit might make be itchy and people would refuse to come near me if they see me scratching myself!
Speaking of Christmas, I'm on the hunt for a man's 4ply sweater with raglan sleeves in stocking stitch, or simple stitchwork. If you know of any interesting patterns that fits the bill let me know. It's really a case of bone-idleness, because, I should sit down and work out the math, but my confidance has wavered as tonight I discovered, counting to 6 is not without hazards!
Posted by atu at September 16, 2003 08:15 PMfor a men's raglan stocking stitch sweater, have you seen the one that Becky (www.skinnyrabbit.com) just finished in cotton? I ran it past the boyfriend and he deemed it "manly enough" but I think it's just darlin!
Anyway, just found your site and I'm glad to see someone else says "d'oh" when they knit :)

I've nearly done the back of Daisy and I'm ashamed to say it's been having a holiday at the back of the wardrobe whilst I finish and start other things! I'm not doing it in Rowan wool though(gasp, horrors). I'm doing it with a dove grey background,white petals and a yellow centre in some bargain basement double knitting. I think the whole thing will set me back about £9! So far it doesn't look too bad! It's not even next to do at the moment, as I cast on for the Military Jacket last night! I think I'm a lost cause.
