Ho Hum...

It has been a dreary last couple of days and rained most of the day today. If it isn't too hot, it's raining...if it's not raining, it's too humid, etc...it drives my daughter nutty because we end up staying in the house all day, which is not her cup of tea. It's a hard knock life, sweetie!

I'm reaching the finish line on the back of the vest. I think I only have another thirty or so rows left, so I'll see how much I can accomplish tonight before I zonk out.

I've also been searching online for an aran weight yarn for my Rogue pullover that is affordable, 100% wool or superwash and is in colours other than off white!! Geez, just because it's aran weight doesn't mean that it should only be made in off white!! I do think that I've found some at Wool-Tyme.I'm not to crazy about the colours, but if I had to choose one, it would be the red mix (I want this pullover to stand out). It's so hard to tell online what you'll get and it's risky. Briggs and Little is a great little company though, so I just have colour issues. Suggestions and opinions are welcome!

Well, I'm off to knit...

Thanks for letting me know it'll work with a worsted weight, Lizzi. I did go ahead and swatch a worsted weight and got gauge on 5.5mm needles, a full size up. I'm just worried it may not be a dense enough fabric knit up, so I am thinking of going ahead with an aran weight. I'll keep you posted.
