Another 'distraction' has taken hold of my knitting over the last couple of weeks. My Mom's sweater has been sucking the life out of my knitting. I'm not exactly sure why I have such difficulty in finishing this one, but I decided I really wanted to cast on another project rather than keep trudging away on this Lady.
I've had Cassidy by Chicknits for quite sometime & went off to find more yarn to go with the Thirteen Mile I bought while in Bozeman, Montana. The Yarn Lounge usually has quite a stash of Thirteen Mile so I went on a trip to add to my three skeins of oatmeal. Unfortunately no oatmeal colorway was to be found, but I did find the most soft & scrunchy yarn by Elsa Wool Co in a nice light gray color. Not what I originally planned to do, but with the "Get Your Knits Sale" going on I bought 7 skeins of the woolen light gray and off I ran. I must tell you that the yarn is really terrific for any projects that have texture such as the Cassidy.
The yarn is 100% Montana grown Cormo wool and has the most detailed tag I have ever seen on yarn...it consists of 3 cards the size of a standard business card with detailed instructions how to care for the yarn. It's soft, squishy & feels wonderful in your hand as your knit. So far the sweater has knitted up like a dream with the cables popping out very nicely...cannot wait to finish knitting up the sleeves so I can seam this one up. Fall is rapidly approaching...
