I ripped out the ribbing and I’m knitting up as a proper knee sock now.
I started the Equinox Yoke Pullover, but that had to be ripped as well. I like a roomy sweater, but it was ridiculous.
I’m going to restart it in a smaller size just as soon as I get those size 3 needles out of the camo socks. I was a little worried about the fair isle until I realized I have 87 yards of stockinette to get through, so there’s clearly plenty of time for a little fair isle practice on the side (Norwegian stockings, perhaps?). Anyone know a yarn store in NY that sells Dale yarns?
In other news, guess what I did last night…
The crowd was solidly behind Agassi, including one particularly verbal fan next to us in the nosebleed seats. Definitely the best $18 I’ve ever spent on a ticket to a sporting event.

so nice to be hearing from you once again, beth!
you have a lot more patience for knitting than i do, that's for sure. i would have long ago thrown both projects in the garbage. and you think i'm joking. . .
I *think* Downtown yarns carries Dale. Have fun conquering fair isle!
yeah! i love the US open! so much fun! we're not going this year because we're going to san fran instead so i guess i shouldn't complain about not being there.
wow, that sweater was huge! good thing you stopped when you did. did you swatch first?
So jealous of your US Open attendance! (Now there's an event that calls for some take-along stockinette.)
Wow - that would have been an extremely roomy sweater! You probably could have gotten 2 of you in there!
The US open sounds like a lot of fun - one day I, too, will go see a match or two.
That sweater could have been fine... if you didn't mind sharing it with someone else :)
Welcome back to the blog world!
Good thing you frogged the sweater when you did, I'll be taking the tank I'm working on off the needles tonight to see if I have to do the same - but I knit quite a bit more! Cross your fingers for me.
