OK there it is. For all those doing the Onde-along, I finally have some progress to report. We have achieved a color change. The new tone? hmmm I'm thinking its like cocktail shrimp pink now and no longer radioactive smoked salmon pink. Oddly the further I go it feels like I'm loosening my guage which would make sense since I've started getting comfortable with using small needles again and I'm easing up, yet when I checked my gauge there was no change spooooooky.Oh and also, I heart phildar. The new family book came out for summer 2004 and I adore it, first check this out:Ins't that men's sweater great? But also note how difficult it is to fotograph onde, all of those sweaters were made using THE SAME color onde!And this yellow sweater (though not that color) I'm in love with:isnt it great? Yes I do like to show off my chest a lot why do you ask? Hey collar bones can be seeeexay.Yes, obviously I have to move to France (where the naked ladies dance) and STAT.Also, it seems there are a lot of questions/concerns out there about the cashmerino* and since I love it so I feel I must stand up for it. Ok sorry I just haven't had the piling problems anyone else has. I loves my sweater and have worn it a lot since last week and I dont have pils, except for a few on the inside of the sweater where um I don't care if there is piling but even that is minimal. I haven't been giving this sweater gentle treatement either its been going through the normal wear and tear..so do with that information what you will.And now because I am sooooooo tired and have little content for today lets make a list of things we covet I'll go first:ebony needles-just used my first pair and I am hooked they're amazing I need to upgrade my tools nowBrittany Birch needles - hey what can I say I love wooden needlesBrittany Black Walnut needles-they are STUNNING but $90 ? yeah nuh uh5 skiens of Colinette point fiveKid silk haze by Rowen in shades Candygirl and LiquorLorna's laces sock yarn in colorway daffodiland I should stop now, it's a sickness it is, just two days ago I remarked "i don't need more yarn.
