12 in 12 A Little Fishy

I know I said I was going to do the tote this month, but I have a need to do this sweater for James. There is a nip in the air and I want to make sure he has one sweater made by me before the cold weather gets here. When I posted my original 12 in 12 goal list, I did not have the yarn for this pattern.

I knew that I wanted Knit Picks. So, I ordered the Wool of the Andes this past week. It is a worsted weight yarn and is nice to knit with. At 1.99 a skein for 110 yards, I'm not complaining!

I'm also using Knit Picks Harmony needles in size 6 for this project. I've not used these needles before and after falling in love with Addi needles, I questioned whether I'd like them.

I do. They have great tips on them, a nice length, a cord with great flexibility...Yep, I think I like them. I'm going to order the size 6 in a 24" cable. I've knit to almost the armholes and I'm pushing the limit on the number of stitches this 16" cable will hold. This is a top down sweater reglan sweater. The biggest bugaboo for me is going to be when I get to the fishies. I'm a little scared of that part of the pattern. So glad I have you guys here cheering me on!

I posted about the new bun. Today, she has humped the cat, peed down the register, chewed off the wood door frame and followed me around like a puppy dog. I LOVE this bunny!

Hope your week goes well! Catch you on the flip side!
