She Knits! (And a Bit of a Black Friday Stash Sale)

Hey Knitters! Raise your needle tips and click-clack them together!

Why?

Because I finished the back of David's sweater yesterday!

Man, this is slow progress. I started this thing August 21st. But at least it's progress, and at least I still love it. 

I was thinking of immediately casting on for the front, but I felt the need to knit something at a different gauge and with a different feel. I have four other sweaters on the needles at some stage of being ignored, so.......

naturally I cast on for something new. I just wanted to look at this delicious color of green and to feel something much softer and smoother running through my fingers. This is Berroco Pure Pima cotton, and oooooh, it feels nice to knit. Unfortunately I've decided that I cast on the wrong size, and so it's going to be ripped out and restarted. Maybe that was just enough of a palate cleanser to get back to the grey Peace Fleece. We shall just see, shan't we?

I've decided to off-load some of my yarns, starting with the Rowan Magpie Tweed.

To give everyone a fighting and fair chance on this discontinued and desirable yarn, I've listed it on eBay here. Go have a look, and you know the drill: Bid high, bid often! Tell your husbands and your boyfriends and your girlfriends you want this scrumptious yarn for the holidays.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR MY BLOG READERS:  If one of my blog readers buys this yarn at auction, and he or she tells me so, I will include some of my home-grown garlic in the package -- or if garlic is not your bag and jam is -- I'll include a jar of my rose petal jam. How's that for a fun holiday shopping deal for Black Friday?!

I'm going to bid, but because I want to try the jam, not for the yarn. Will you ship to an FPO address?

I too dream of the rose petal jam, but alas, oatmeal colored yarn is not my thing.
I tried your foolproof way to make yogurt, and it turned out a drippy mess, but I had no trouble with the home made cheese. Life would sure be boring if we were all the same, right?

I hope you find the right knitting for you today and that the destashing goes well.
