So I'll be making the cardigan that I linked to in my last post, but I'll be using Cascade 220 instead of Blue Sky Alpacas Cotton. I don't really like knitting with cotton - it's kind of stiff and unforgiving. And I'll be making the cardi in a small, not an extra-small. Hopefully it won't be boxy. I just can't envision squeezing into an extra-small.
I considered making the cardigan in Malabrigo worsted, but there was one skein less than I needed. The Cascade was considerably cheaper, anyway. And the cashier (whom I think is also the owner - just a hunch) said she thought it would wear better. Something to do with the ply. I also bought some Madeline Tosh hand-dyed yarn for a hat.
Then I picked up a book called Love in Mid Air - about two people who fall in love on an airplane, with obstacles of course. It looks interesting.

Ha! My word verification is 'chick'! And it's Easter!
no, it will actually be pink. it's the only color they had 4 skeins of in that yarn...plus, i love pink as everybody knows.
That's a cute sweater! I'm not brave enough yet to make sweaters, but I'm sure I'll try it eventually. I just feel like I need more practice with other stuff first.
