Spoke Too Soon
Yesterday, I shot my mouth off about having a "New York City Knitting Project" all ready to go. You know what? I had a pattern in mind, and that's all she wrote. I stopped by Yarn Central for a sampling of yarn sub options (no Rowan Wool Cotton to be had), but I walked empty-handed.
Since landing the Most Boring Ever Temp Gig, I've filled my days with blogging, reading blogs, emailing, and the occassional knitting on the sly.
Not so fast! This morning, another temporary arrived on the scene, Pamela, who is filling in for me while I am playing and working in NYC. As you can imagine, her presence, as well as my need to train her as to how to look busy for eight hours the requirements of the assignment, severly cut into my daily computer time. Thankfully, Pamela was granted a mere 1/2-day to learn this job -- which really speaks to the complexity of it -- leaving me the afternoon free to reach out and touch the World Wide Web.
Which is where I found this little number.
A mental review of my stash reveals that I own no suitable for this pattern. Honestly! I am not a knitter with a huge stash. I pretty much buy strange yarns because they are on sale, or I make a yarn purchase for a particular pattern.
At any rate, here's the timeline: My workday finishes at 4:30pm. Yarn Central closes at 6:00pm. I leave for NYC at 7:00pm. Anybody else see a mad dash to the yarn store in my immediate future? Lest you think that I am a complete flake, I am still jazzed about knitting Hopeful, but that is just too much yarn to procure and carry around Manhattan for a week. But this pattern...this little ribbed ditty is just perfect! I must have it! I must knit it now!
After all, what will I wear over my Glampyre Tubular Camisole? I need to add straps of some sort to called the project "finished", and I'm toying with some skinny ribbon. Knitted in Adrianne Vittadini Diana -- a completely delightful yarn! -- the project moved pretty quickly, even for a test knit. A definate winner!
