Knitting is such a healing activity, isn’t it? No matter how fully I think I know this, I’m still surprised by it. I’m working on this Knitting Pure and Simple Neck Down Shaped Cardigan #241, which is a mouthful of a name, but a very nice thing to knit. I’m in love with the seed stitch on the front edges. I’m in love with the yarn, too. It’s one of those Sundara yarns that doesn’t pool or stripe, except in subtle ways that make the whole thing better. I’m not alternating skeins, I’m just knitting. If it weren’t such a dreary afternoon, the photograph might do it justice.
I think I’ll knit along, and ponder my ponderables, and before too long all will be well.
And I’ll have a beautiful sweater to show for it, which makes me smile!

That is a beautiful piece of knitting – even in dreary afternoon lighting. Keep knitting and pondering all the way to wellville.

I find knitting to sooth my frazzled nerves. Something about the repetition and movement just drains the tension right out of me.Now if people would stop doing things to make me feel frazzled in the first place life would be perfect, lol.

love the colors – and today was a great day to work on a sweater wasn't it .. don't know if I will be at knitting tomorrow – Himself is doing honor guard tomorrow 2-4 and I'm not sure when he will actually get out because of crowds and we are a one car family right now ..

The yarn is gorgeous, so earthy and warm looking. No matter the lighting, I think this one stands well enough on it's own merits. Very smooth and even knitting too. The cardi will be wonderful. I heard my first song bird of 2010, so Spring can't be too far behind. And just in time too, as we are blanketed under a few feet of snow at the moment.. LOLTake care and keep well 🙂

Did a big group of us actually sign a pact to all knit that sweater in similar colors? Because Beth and I are also making it to copy Elizabeth's String Theory treat.
