I used up 8 balls from my stash of LB Kool Wool in fushia. I love this one. You definitely get what you knit, and who could hate a top down project? I literally had nothing left to sew on this ginormous button that I found at Wally World. It's a perfect match, too. Oh, forgot to say...started on 10-22-08 and finished on 10-29-08 and used size 10 circs. It's a quickie, that's for sure. My mom loved it, so I am in the process of knitting hers in grey Kool Wool. I had 9 balls leftover from knitting the Spicy Fitted Tee. I'll post a pic when I've finished that one.
Next up is my CPH. I can't explain why I stalled out on this one. All I had left to knit was one sleeve cap, the hood, and the ribbing around. I started it over a year ago...I think it was 10-21-07.
I can't remember how many skeins I used of LB Wool Ease. Not my fave yarn, but I'm still stashbusting. I think I used the required needles. My only complaint with the pattern is that I felt the sleeves were tad slim--especially if you want to layer. I ended up making a size 36" because I already read where the fronts were too small. Also, if anyone is reading this, I'd like to hear your feelings on Wool Ease. I made a vest from this a few years ago, and after wearing it for one day, it pilled horribly. It's got to be the acrylic content. Oh yeah...the color is wheat. I did a 3 needle bind off for the hood, and did the ribbing all around on one circ. Trying to avoid more seaming. I will say, with the turn of cool weather in FL, this kept me warm. Hopefully, in my next post I will have 2 more fos to add.
My last bit of news is that the dh and I went to Ribfest to FINALLY see Styx. I have been wanting to see them for 3 years. The weather was soooo cooperative...matter of fact, the last day of warm weather we had...and the band was GREAT! DH explained why they didn't play my fave song-"Light Up" and his- "Babe". Damn Dennis DeYoung. Well, he missed a mighty rockin' version of "Renegade".
