Chaotica

Wow...I don't even remember how to blog anymore...it took a little while to get to the right spot (and a LONG while to get revved up to post :))!!!  My life has been somewhat chaotic recently -- not really the reason for the latest knitting design but seemed to be an appropriate name for the project!  I have had this great cotton / rayon blend worsted weight ivory-colored yarn in my stash for quite some time and it has wanted to become some kind of cable-y, swingy kind of cardigan...I searched through every one of a gazillion free and otherwise patterns on Ravelry and absolutely none of them inspired me -- either too constructed, too cable-y or not at all cable-y sooooo, even though I really didn't want to design another sweater ... here I go again! 

This is a top-down, raglan-sleeve VERY randomly cabled cardigan-jacket.  I don't know yet whether it will be cropped or a-line, with or without ribbing but it is F-U-N!  I hope that I will be able to build a pattern around the creativity!  Sizing the pattern, which is my nemesis with a capital "N", should be straight-forward because it can be made-to-fit...yay!!!

More news..no longer at the grind ...needed to have the time and presence of mind to find a real job so am now fervently looking for my second career - wish me luck!

Also I am placing a link to MFS's spinning blog www.spinningsarah.com - congratulations Sarah!
