Kyoto it is!
I couldn't find enough yarn in the right colors at Knitting Arts in Saratoga to make Kyoto, so I went on to The Yarn Place in Capitola. They had everything I needed/ wanted! Yeah! I am using the color scheme in the pattern on knitty, but the green I selected is a tad brighter, since the green specified in the pattern wasn't as flattering on me as I'd like.I didn't exchange the yarn for Ribby Cardi though , simply because in my haste to get out of the house and to Knitting Arts before they closed at 6 I forgot to pack up the yarn that needs to go back. Nothing like proper prior planning, don't ya know? Oh well. I will get it back over there sometime this week. I've got 3 projects going at the moment, so Ribby Cardi can wait a few days I think.
In case you are interested in what I've got in my project bag, here's the line-up:
1) The poncho that I've knitted halfway and ripped back to nothing at least 3 times is on track again. This time I am using Sally Melville's poncho pattern that's on the cover of the Winter Knitter's magazine. Basically it's 10 scarves sewn together. Perfect for using a bunch of different yarns, which is exactly what I am doing. I'm doing it in a bunch of greens instead of the gold though. It's for my mom and she likes green. Hopefully I will finish it before ponchos are considered passe.
2) Kyoto
3) A red fun fur shrug for Red in this yarn:
It won't be much more than two long sleeves attached across the shoulders.
I want to start Kyoto right now, but I need to go make some headway on the boxes in the garage I took out of storage yesterday, and I need to get out in the yard and start turning it into a garden. So many things to do and so little time!
