I am actually knitting tangled yoke cardigan on 2.5mm needles, not quite 9spi but close, 8 - so I can keep you company. You can colour work while I mire in stst between rib and tangled cables. Modify the neck to suit you - having said that I've got a bohus kit on hold because the last bohus I knit had a high neck and i'd need to work out what to change there without mucking up the colour work.Stellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073753506202447996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-74183950768435450512008-04-16T10:00:00.000-07:002008-04-16T10:00:00.000-07:00Good luck on the grading . . .

I must buckle down tonight despite the fact that it going to be 70F this afternoon here for the first time since October!

One con is not seeing that stack visibly shrink. One pro (or con?) is that it's easier to ignore if it doesn't have a physical presence. :)<BR/><BR/>And I'm with you on the freedom-of-the-neck movement. I'm actually wondering if I could leave off the first few rows of an Icelandic turtleneck pattern I just got for that very reason. I can't promise to knit a 9st/in sweater with you, but I might (after finals) be willing to do a neckless turtleneck while you cardiganize your sweater.NTKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336702009211159535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-68682228429618136062008-04-15T12:26:00.000-07:002008-04-15T12:26:00.000-07:00It is a demonstrable truth that ungraded papers ge...It is a demonstrable truth that ungraded papers get heavier each day they sit on your desk, and that rate doubles if you carry them back & forth from office to home...Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025212419444729424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-90115138591721029582008-04-15T10:55:00.000-07:002008-04-15T10:55:00.000-07:00There's *always* a way to turn a pullover into a c...There's *always* a way to turn a pullover into a cardi.... evil cackling....<BR/>I'm beyond happy you're getting a day at home... alone.
