knit what? purl who?

Well, my camera has gone on vacation again. Again, sadly, I can not go with it. Too bad, too, because the brown sweater that was only about an inch long in my last post has grown a couple arms, and in fact has grown all the way up to the neck. I'm feeling a little like I don't want to steek this one, because it fits so well. And the yoke neck/shoulder shaping has got my poor little brain working overtime to figure out how I'm going to crochet steek the thing. I suppose I could use a sewing machine, but then I would have to find someone to do it for me, because I can NOT sew in a straight line. (Remind me to post a picture of the "quilt" I made sometime.) Plus, I would have to turn over control of my project to another. NEVER! (Unless you really love sewing sweater pieces together, then call me.) Going back to school has made me a real tight-ass.

Anyhoo, with no pictures of brown sweater to show, maybe I should confess that I have a new project on the brain. Let me just say that if a book came out called "Yummy Fireside Snuggle Knits", I would be all over it. My favorite types of knitting are the big, soft, snuggly things that you curl up in all winter. This has me written all over it:

Aahhh... the Jacket Worked in Rounds from Rebecca No. 32. Worked in rounds sounds like an idea I can get behind. Minimal sewing. Here it is in the window of Loop:

and its sister:

Makes me wish it wasn't MAY. Maybe if I turn the AC up real high...

Stay tuned for more future project wannabe and adorable dog pictures whilst the camera enjoys his trip to Iowa!
