:: October 2, 2005 Hourglass Sweater
I've started working on the Hourglass Sweater from Last Minute Knitted Gifts In other news. Do you ever have those dreams where you discover a whole new room or wing in your house? (Obvious interpretation: your house is too damn small and cluttered and you're feeling the squeeze.) Yesterday I had this dream come true, of sorts: I found out there's a huge antique mall in Austin that I didn't know about before. Ironically I'd had the address listed in my guide to Austin fabric shopping but confused it with the Antique Marketplace on Burnet, which I've been to a million times. I will go this afternoon to find vintage swap fodder ... posted by in Austin , Knitting
Comments I have that dream at least once every six months. It is so magical. When I was a kid I dreamed about toys and playhouses in the same way.

Posted by Amanda on October 2, 2005 11:25 PM Thank you so much for the errata page. Ihad no idea till I was surfing through blogs, And I was just about to start the hour glass sweater. Posted by charisse on October 4, 2005 9:56 AM It looks awesome in that yarn! Posted by illanna on October 4, 2005 8:36 PM How are you liking the yarn? And the sweater? I can't wait to see it. Posted by Susan on October 7, 2005 9:14 AM I just wanted to let you know I'm the one that purchased that big wad of books off you. I'm hoping that I find an American writer that I like, since my creative writing teacher says that I don't read nearly enough short stories. And I am totally loving your sweater. Now I want to go through my stash to see if I have enough yarn to make it too. :) Posted by lisa on October 7, 2005 5:46 PM I have been eyeing that same yarn. It's going to be beautiful! Posted by gina on October 7, 2005 8:51 PM Looks like the hourglass sweater will be gorgeous in that yarn! How many skeins of the Silk Twist did you need?? I've had that pattern on my "to knit" list for awhile and would like to order yarn soon and get started! Posted by rebecca on October 8, 2005 9:28 PM oh my god.....i am just about to rip this entire sweater back down and start all over,thanks for pointing out the corrections page,a little to late for this attempt,but i will not let it beat me!! it will be a great sweater if i can get it right this time,good luck to you!
