in the works

so there is a sweater in the works...

i just don't know what it is yet.

i've been doing research.



i just haven't come to a decision.

you see shirley gifted me with some of her stash yarn a while back.
ok so it was almost a year ago.
and i thought i would make her a sweater.
crazy i know.
why knit a knitter a sweater?
well she weighs all of 95 pounds soaking wet so it will be a fast knit.
and she did gift me the yarn.
and i don't really need the yarn seeing as i can knit at least 6 sweaters from the stash right now. so shirley is getting a sweater.

i'm leaning in a couple of different directions.

i want to knit an interweave sweater cause well i have the subscription so why not right?

so here are the candidates:

1) nantucket jacket
2) wheat-ear cable yoke
3) tangled yoke cardigan
3) climbing vines pullover
4) diminishing rib cardigan

and i also figure the recipient might want a say in said sweater...

so i'll keep you posted.
but in the meantime. what do you think?

Tangled Yoke is my favorite, but of course, it would depend on what the recipient would look best wearing!

so much to do!

with only a few days to relax. a trip to the beach turns into a blur of "i just want to sit here" mixed with "but we have to do this too" so several days worth of photos divided into day parts. cause really it is all running together :) think sandra bullock from that movie premonition where the days are out of order...but nobody's gonna die. sunrise: over the ocean. after waking up early not feeling well from a late night out with the family. i took one for the team ad finished the wine...don't do that. not good. i ran the 2 blocks to the boardwalk and over the dunes to the water to get these couple of shots. seagulls and beachcombers are your only company when it's this early! i've never seen so many mussel shells when it wasn't after dinner. midday: on the boardwalk. after the beach you go to the boardwalk to grab lunch at mack and mancos. apparently the best pizza ever. i'm not convinced. but heck i don't really get the wa...
