Ta da! The yarn for my Classic Cardigan and don't
you just love the heathered amethyst colorway.
This is KnitPicks' organic cotton, the same yarn I used for the
Lace-Edged Cardi. I love knitting with
this yarn because it is soft, has good stitch definition and is sport
weight. I prefer knitting with sport and
DK weight yarns. I have hardly used a
worsted weight yarn in the last year.
Also on the needles--seed stitch
scarf-that-would-be-cowl in white merino and Kid Silk Haze AND Pixie Sticks
Scarf in light and dark pink instead of pink and white. I love the pink and pink peppermint sticks I
buy at Christmas time so this scarf looks good enough to eat! This will be a Christmas gift. The scarf is angled and has a ruffle on the
edges, the reason for the provisional cast on.
Weight Watchers is slow and at times
grueling. I have, however, lost 14
pounds and am thankful beyond belief for that much!! I am losing at approximately .6 pounds a week
due partly to my age I'm sure, and to the sedentary lifestyle that accounting forces
on one. I have started taking a mile
walk during the middle of the day and have ramped up my evening gardening
duties to weed pulling and edging around the raised beds. Still--SLOW!!
At least the scale is going in the right direction!
After a week of the weeding I am
putting a sign I found on Pinterest on my door.
It says, "Ring bell. If no
answer, pull weeds!"
Life is good.
