Tea Cozy?
Last night's SNB NY meeting was pretty fantastic. They were about 15 of us in total, all knitting away. This group is definitely younger and more daring in their knits than my Wednesday group. I'm not sure if I'll be able to come every week, but perhaps every other week I can make it. This is definitely a great place to get new, no fear knit ideas. Plus, the Space Untitled is pretty fantastic. I ordered an apple juice, freshly squeezed and wonderful with "apple foam".
I got to see Katie (from Little Italy) there, along with a few others from Sunday's Critter Knitter Knit-Out. Deb arrived and took pictures of us knitting away. When I talked to her, towards the end of the evening, she told me that the tea cozy was no more and, instead, she needed the front of a sweater. It is being made in Black Wool-Ease with a few rows of red right about at the beginning of armhole shaping. It needs to be done in a week! Eeks! But, I think I can do it. I just had to put various projects on hold and focus on this one. I cast on last night and I'm off to a running start.
It's called "Flame Sweater" according to the pattern, medium size. Definitely not a tea cozy. Hee hee. The wool is bouncy and soft, enjoyable to knit with (especially with this cool spell we're currently having). I made gauge easily on US8s. Katie is going to make the back and a third party is making the sleeves.
