Knitting Goddess #9

Saturday, April 05, 2003

So, I love my knitting blogs. But I'm mildly trashed and looking at the Tickled Pink Sweater, and I'm sad to say, I actually find it kind of ugly.

I mean, it's a nice idea, but I hate turtlenecks. Their sole function is to hide hickeys for me. And the pattern makes it look like it's a garter sweater from a distance. An intriguing idea, and fun colors, but in the end, definitely not for me.

Which is kind of sad, because I really like Mama Kate. I took issue with her bucket hat, but that was probably because I blocked it badly. I love the cheesy love sweater (to be found in winters knitty in the archives) and am even working with the idea of the pattern to transponse into DK weight cotton, minus the ruffles and half sleeves instead of full length. Yes, yes I am a dork. Feel free to mock.

But who cares? No one reads the blog yet, anyway!
