Froggy Style

So I'm merrily, albeit blindly knitting away on Klaralund and I remember that my finishing skills suck raw eggs. I also make someone else finally rip out what I have done and finish it for me, lowering my knitting self esteem to new levels. So why not knit her entirely in the round? So easy and mindless. Jeez, really all patterns for sweaters should be written that way. Of course, Cornelia designs sweaters for Noro and Noro stripes a certain way and you'd lose those thick stripes if knitting in the round. Ok, I am rambling. And to make a tiresome story end quickly, I frogged what I had knitted thus far and I am going to start again in the round casting on 176 stitches to make a L/XL. Why do I need to make such a large one? Let me revise my New Years Resolutions...

1. Get Lipo
2. Get Face Lift
3. Get Boob Lift
4. Botox for frown line (had it done once before, made me look really friendly)
5. Get new 2 front teeth
6. Get Hair Extensions
7. Get Anorexia...but not Karen Carpenter bad
8. Get a Pug
9. You get the idea...


Oh and I've made a few necklaces out of I-cords and they are actually really pretty but zero fun to make so that won't last in my consciousness. Well, on the spur of the moment we've decided to go to Va. Beach and stay at the Hilton for some much needed rest. I love the beach in the winter time (yes, I know Beck, not your cup of tea, you like the flesh cooking off your bones...). Its so peaceful and quiet and cheap, lets not forget cheap.
One final note...I think Cascade 220 feels like Red Heart. Sorry, I know thats a low blow to such a nice company (Ho!) but there is a reason I paid $3.25/skein wholesale and imagine that they are making a pretty good markup themselves, so what is Cascade 220 really worth? 50 cent? Feels like it. I should have made the sweater in Berroco's Ultra Alpaca or Silk Garden or Cash Iroha or anything else for that matter! See Ya at the Sand! I expect to be taking long walks on the Boardwalk, eating breakfast in bed, and knitting my entire Klaralund in 3 days! It can be done! My fingers may be bleeding by the end of it but...MUST MAKE SWEATER!
