the blue blog archives: speaking of tummies

(and we were yesterday, weren't we?) I came down with a little tummyache that knocked me out for a day. So I'll just leave you with this, the finished front pieces to my new Verena sweater. Neato, huh?

That looks so cool, what an interesting shaped design. I'm intrigued as to how you are going to join it together with crochet, I bet that will look fantastic..

Hope you feel better soon, have a good day on the sofa and try and bribe those boys into letting you relax for a while!

Tell me about it. It's been The Week of Mysterious Illnessess here. Hope you get a little more quality couch time after you feel better! I can't wait to see the finished sweater!

Whatever it is, it's really making the rounds in Boston. My husband and I have both had it in the past week. Ugh.

cute cute cute! what a great design - i can't wait to see it finished. I'm thinking about hopping into the drape along, but I wonder, would this yarn work for something like Flourish (http://www.theknittinggarden.com/ro-mag29.htm)?? I have some in petal pink, and would love love to make this sweater with it and it's the same gauge as the called for cottan glace - any thoughts? feel better soon!

Hey Alison,
Hope you feel better, That sweater you're working on is pretty neat! Just got 2 packs of All Seasons Cotton for a Cardi Rogue for the summer (mwahaha) I deserve it, what with having my birthday and getting married all in the same week ;)

Oooh, I'd have fun piecing that top together. It looks like a jigsaw. Using crochet, you're going to speed through it. I love the smooth seam crochet creates.

Get well soon!!!
