habu redo
I'm just starting the Habu redo. I've ripped back to the start of the armholes and am reknitting the top front and back with ribbing at either armhole opening to match the collar. I think I'll also end up picking up stitches along the cast on row and adding a bit of ribbing there too to make the whole thing all matchy-matchy. Still hoping to have it done by the end of the Olympics! My Olympic record so far: 2 of 4 projects finished. Woo hoo! posted by alison at 9:26 am | in

I wonder what Habu means? Posted by: Illanna at August 20, 2004 3:33 PMIllanna, I got my yarn at the Habu store (they make all kinds of textiles). The Habu website answers the question of what Habu means. They say that 'ha' meant 'wave' and 'bu', 'fabric'. Neato! Check out the full explanation on their home page.
