although i really should be finishing projects rather than beginning new ones, forecast has reeled me in. the pattern is so elegantly written that it's a joy to knit. it's definitely a knitter's sweater, with clever techniques, unusual constructions, and enough to think about to be interesting while maintaining a good rhythm to each row. an intellectual sweater, you might say. it's convinced me that fitted knits will be a necessary purchase in the near future.ester is stalled due to blocking barriers. last weekend we moved furniture, finally ditching the lumpy bachelor sofa that mr. boot bought at goodwill several years ago for $15. while this was a much-anticipated event for me, the way that we rearranged furniture means that the only real option for blocking--the futon--is now in the main room, where it's not so convenient for a wet wooly mass to remain for several days. so, i'm considering making one out of homosote.
in the meantime, the brown "crispy rice" treats and the strawberry kanten from this macrobiotic cookbook have fulfilled my no-sugar sweet-treat cravings. and, to echo a nuttnbunny image (without the three-year-old fingers), the chickens have been quite productive:

Forecast is beautiful - love your yarn choice. What is it? I've added fitted knits and the macro book to my amazon cart :-) You've GOT to stop tempting me with all these great books.
Can't wait to see Ester. Super exciting about the furniture, though. I blocked mine of our guest bed mattress. With a fan on it only took 1.5 days.
Totally love the eggs. I'm trying to convince nuttnhubby to accelerate the chicken plan :-)
love that yarn - it's a beautiful color.
the yarn is cascade 220 in heather tweed--on sale last month at WEBS!
