When not knitting
May 23, 2006
Blue Gable
Pattern: Green Gable from Zephyr Style
Yarn: Cascade Sierra (80% Prima Cotton 20% Wool, 100g, 192 yds.), Color 23, 3 skeins.
Needles: Addi Turbo US 6 32" Susan Bates DPN US 4
Cast On: ?
Cast Off: May 9
Mods: Minor ones. I did seed stitch instead of ribbing in both the bottom of the top and the sleeves. I also did 3 more reps of the lace pattern.
Comments: Great pattern, most of it easy mindless knitting and a bit of lace to spice it up. I love the shaping of the waist, it makes a nice well fitting sweater. I would only knit a stitch between the K2tog in the decreasing rounds next time.
Delicious yarn, a lot easier on the hands than cotton and a lot more forgiving with mistakes, makes nice even fabric but is just too hot for 40 C summer in Monterrey.
Thanks to Raz for taking the pictures, I will finish your sock in time for winter honey I promise.
I went to Mc Allen this weekend and scored 2 books that I been craving: Mason-Dixon Knitting and Knitting Nature.
The patterns on KN have a very clever construction and the textures are beautiful. Most of the motives are inspired by nature (duh) like waves and spirals, but I particularly liked the ones inspired on fractals, they appeal to my geeky side.
The M-D girs are terribly funny and quite persuasive because they rave so much about washcloths that they convinced me to start one, although I have no use for them, with some leftover Bernart cotton.

That looks so great! I love your "polaroid" style-- you can see from my blog header that I like to play around with that look, too.

Namaste... y matakondo!

About me
¡Tu green (blue)gable se ve genial! y además te queda muy bien. Knitting Nature también está en mi lista, supongo que ya viste el suéter de pentágonos de Grumperina, aunque aquí solo me queda pedirlo en Amazon. Que ventaja vivir cerca de la frontera.
