Dear Knit Diary...

I will not make any excuses for neglecting you for so long. Please know that I have been thinking about you. I have also been knitting and thinking about knitting. I also finished a shawl a week ago, but haven't had time to snap a pic. I will try to post it soon.

Anyways...
I thought you'd like to know that I bought some yarn...heh. I want to make the Enid Sweater from the Winter 2006 Interweave Knits. I don't have my copy of the issue yet, but I still bought the yarn for it. Am I crazy?

I wish I had a 'fro like that...

I will be using a substitute yarn, a cheaper yarn -- Elann Devon. The main color will be cocoa, see:

Using Elann Devon, will only cost me half the amount of using the required Reynolds Whiskey. (I guess it would be even cheaper if I started some projects that I already have yarn for...) But I'm excited to try the colorwork on this sweater -- I'm trying to stretch my knitting muscles. I think everything will work out... Ok, talk to you soon,
Sandy
