Don't you just love that fit of enthusiasm that comes over you at the start of a new project? The yarn is fabulous, your tension is spot on, the pattern set-up is a doddle. You feel as though you are flying along and this little beauty will soon be gracing your wardrobe.
Of course, we all know that it won't last. The lure of Ravlery will seduce me away. Something brighter, shinier, newer, more popular is bound to draw my eye at some point. Easily distracted...me?
But for now, this project is enthralling me and entertaining me in equal measure.
It is the Icon Dress in the fabulous Purl Alpaca Designs alpaca (colourway Mushroom in case you were wondering).
I am knitting as part of a KAL over on the Stitched Together Designs group - the challenge being to use a hard copy pattern (book, magazine etc) from your craft library to create something you have been meaning to make for ages...but just never got around to.
There are some lovely and inspirational projects over there - do go and take a look.
The deadline for finishing is 31st October - I have a feeling that I may not make it in time (this is a dress in sport weight yarn, let's not forget) but I think I will have fun trying.
I think you've made excellent progress, I think you might actually do it - provided you don't fall down the rabbit hole of Ravelry LOL
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed - trying to limit my 'online time' and time spent browsing/drooling on ravelry might help :)
