Just one more green thing

A.K. got his wisdom teeth (all four!) taken out a couple of days ago and I stayed home to help him get better. So I got to finish a Clapotis scarf and Lilly begrudgingly agreed to model.

Not green.

Lately everything I've been knitting has been green, and I thought I needed to break the green habit, so while I was in Portland a few weekends ago visiting a friend who just had a baby (a really adorable one), we took a short jaunt to a yarn shop and I got 10 skeins of the some pink yarn. Anytime I visit Portland I feel like I'm getting a deal, since there is no sales tax and the yarn was 40% off, so I thought I really couldn't pass it up, but now I'm not sure it is the right color for me.

You be the judge...



What do you think? I mean, it isn't green, so it has that advantage, but I'm thinking it would look fabulous if my skin color was a deep, rich mahogany, but since I am no Diana Ross, I'm not sure I can pull it off.

And what should I do if the color isn't right? eBay? Overdye?

What? I author a blog?

Really? Because you would think I would dust this thing off once in a while.

So the Telegraph Cove sweater. I was going to show you buttons. I thought I would show you buttons a lot sooner, but when I sewed them on and tried on the sweater, the fit was off. Then I looked at the sweater and realized I didn't do an entire set of decreases on the back. I'm such a dork.

So after ripping it back and fixing it, I present the Telegraph Cove sweater ...





and with buttons ...



I am still swamped in paperwork and have tons of things I should be doing other than knitting, but I'm going to make more of an effort not to ignore you.
