Sitting and Knitting

 I said I wasn't going to do it but I did it anyway. I started a World Cup project. Since I am going to be doing a lot of sitting over the next few weeks I thought I might was well.



 What started it was this. I found this yarn still in it's original bag with the receipt in the closet from five years ago. I picked it up at the SVFF and I remember making myself a right nuisance in the Wolle's Creation booth trying to pick a colorway.




 It's weird stuff. It's a four ply cotton that is not twisted. It's a bit tricky to knit with.




 It's going to be a Brickless. It seemed a popular pattern for this particular yarn.



While I am sitting on my behind for the next few weeks I also need to finish this sock. It's been on the needles long enough. I'm at the heel so it should be an easy gooooooooaaaaaaaal!



AND a huge thank you to Betsy for sending me this package of goodies. Look at that yarn. That button is just too cute. I have to also thank Kathy B for arranging this 4th of July swap. It's hard to believe that it's just around the corner. This summer is flying by!

  4. I'm working with some yarn that sounds very similar - tricky but I really like the feel. Kind of wish I'd remembered the Brickless pattern was in my Ravelry cue!
