Not Idle

sensational shirttail sweater

I have not been idle, this long weekend, and here’s the proof!

Sensational Shirttail is finally finished. I’m quite pleased with it, as it does have the same slouchy goodness that the picture in the book shows. I should have knit the arms a bit shorter, but they’re OK if I roll the cuffs up. I might take them out. But probably not.

I used a tiny, tiny part of one of the two extra skeins I bought last weekend in a panic, sure that I didn’t have enough. So my panic was justified. In a small amount.

I’m trying to decide what my next “big” project will be. I’d like to do Tilt, but I might have to wait until payday to afford all that Noro Silk Garden.

I had some of the Noro Kochoran left over from the Sensational Shirttail. The resulting in-store credit caused these little goodies to jump into my bag and beg to be taken home.

And what do you think these will become?

I have some ideas… :grin:

And if any of my ideas pan out, you’ll be the first to know!
