My LYS is having their anniversary sale, 20% off all regular priced yarns. I went in (even though I have about 5 million school things I should be doing) and wandered. Even if I didn’t have school things to do, I should be knitting stuff for the craft fair. But one has to take time for oneself, right? Of course right.
I ended up chosing a wool for the Huntingdon Castle Pullover from the Fall Interweave Knits. I bought one ball to swatch, and put the rest of that colour on hold. It is a lovely rusty red, and I think I’ll use a pale tan for the Fair Isle bit. I swatched just now, and it works perfectly. It’ll be my first Fair Isle, some might say I shouldn’t try that in a whole sweater, but then Rogue was my first sweater and my second cabled project.
I’m going to go back Tuesday and pick up the rest of the yarn. whee!

I love this scene in Fiddler. The great drunken dance-off. It kinda reminds me of the dance scene in West Side Story.

Oh, and to anyone out there: If you aren’t watching the new program Lost you’re missing out on the best thing on TV right now.
