the blue blog archives: cashual friday

I'm trying not to knit up my hourglass sweater too quickly so I can savor the cashmere as long as possible. It's been hard stopping myself from just casting on the body and flying forward because the recycled cashmere is knitting up very easily and feels wonderful on the needles. This week I succeeded in only finishing the first sleeve (up to the beginning of the armhole where it will be joined to the body).

I couldn't help myself and I started the second sleeve too. Hint: it's looking just like the one above.

Sounds so luxurious! I can't knit my current project fast enough - and not in the good way. So I'll live vicariously for a little while. Enjoy it!

Love the shape of the sleeve and can hardly wait to see the rest!

My sockapalooza socks have arrived, and they are perfect!

you are so fast! I'm still I've got the body of my Hourglass done, up to the yoke, and I'm still working on the first sleeve. Hopefully I'll make some progress this weekend! Also, hopefully I'll get my sockapalooza socks done - I ran out of yarn on the first pair I was making, and I got the yarn in Ohio, so I have no way to get extra in time!

It's looking good! An Hourglass in cashmere is going to look and feel wonderful I'm sure.

That must be some good stuff. I love my knitting, but I'm usually pretty excited to get stuff finished. Especially if it's going to look as amazing as that will.

Wow, it looks so yummy. It sounds like it will be one of those sweaters you'll never want to take off cause it feels so nice! Can't wait to see it finished!
