Always Casting On...: Deja Vu?

Deja Vu?

Well, sort of...if I weren't tweaking Mariah a little bit. Since this is the second time around knitting Mariah, I thought I'd add some pockets. I think I may also do something different with the hood...or, perhaps just the neckline.

I have the back completed and the sleeves are about half knitted. It isn't as painful to re-knit Mariah as you all may have thought. It's actually easy going now that I know what to expect from the pattern. I'm hoping to have her completed late next week sometime.

Since I've been busy reknitting Mariah, I haven't attempted the sleeves for Zigzag, yet. I'll get to those and finish up my A Step Above socks after Mariah is complete. Plus, I'll be buying the supplies I need to make the Flower Basket this weekend. I'm really looking forward to making this.

I have also been thinking about what my next project should be...after I finish all of the above, of course. I'm leaning towards these three patterns.

#1 The Heirloom Lace Jacket by White Lies Designs

#2 Culdesac Vest from Knitter's 72 Fall 2003

#3 Rogue [cardiganized]

Just for fun, let's see what you think my next project should be by taking the poll below...

Keep On Knitting...

Not that there's any pressure! LOL!; 25 February 2005 at 10:07

Marlene said...: I LOVE the vest! I wish the pattern was available seperately rather than having to search out an old copy. Although I did look through the other designs in that issue and there might be others I would eventually be interested in knitting.; 25 February 2005 at 13:30
Marlene said...: The jacket is nice but would you get much use out of it? For myself it's rather dressy and the bell sleeves would drive me nuts every time I wore it.

Yeah, I know, I'm too practical!; 25 February 2005 at 13:35

I vote for the vest -- it's such a classy unusual vest and very versitil.
