  rip rip.
So. This is the third time I've started this sweater. The first time, I got through three or so inches of back before I decided it would be too big. The second time, I finished an entire sleeve before I decided that this sweater is just too frumpy for me. Well, not frumpy, but... not my style for a cardigan. I have another cardigan in a similar (yet more stylish, sorta) design, by the same people, and I never wear it.

So. I've started it again, in pullover form. I'm using a different skein of yarn than the first two attempts, hoping that this yarn will be happier. I'm really more a pullover sort, I think. Except that I'm a total banana cardigan whore. but they are knit in impossibly tiny yarn, and have zippers. both things I'm just not willing to deal with right now. well, zippers I could learn, but just not now!

I made more yarn. It is beautiful. Green and dark green and bluishness. Totally super soft singles. I wonder how the twistiness will act once knitted up- I only washed it and hung to dry to set the twist. Who knows? I want to knit myself something soft and fuzzy out of it. Yum.
