Good theories
Not nearly enough knitting got done this week as my deadline on Venezia is looming...I am getting nervous. I think I just need to be more disciplined with my knitting.
So I have a theory. I think I have to finish the body of the sweater by Thanksgiving in order to meet my November 30 deadline. I could then get the sleeves done over the holiday weekend and seem it up in time for the end of the month reveal. This is a great theory. Problem is, it is only theory. Now I have to prove it.
Another Erin (not me) asked me to give the specifics on my color subs so I thought I would document it for anyone else who is interested.
The colors that stayed the same are: Mooskit, Mooskit/White, Sand, and Ivy
Here is what I changed:
Yellow Ochre > Jamieson & Smith brand, FC55
Rosemary > Jamieson's brand, Eucalyptus (794)
Peacock > Jamieson's brand, Stonewash (677)
Pine Forest > Jamieson & Smith brand, 82
Turf > Jamieson & Smith, 1293
And for the edges and bands > Jamieson's brand, Maroon (595)
For those of you wondering what the difference between Jamieson's and Jamieson & Smith is, well I can't remember. I was told what the deal is but honestly I don't remember what happened only that they are basically the same yarn--just under different names. So there you go--my yarn subs.
I will report on my progress next week. Happy knitting--let's hope I am able to prove my theory right.

Well, that sweater is amazing, a major accomplishment, whenever you finish it.

Thanks for posting the color subs. I know you can do it!!!! Knit knit knit.
Isn't it amazing the number of Erin's that knit out there in Blogland? I know when I was growing up they were few and far between! Good Luck!

Hey Erin--you probably have no idea who I am--I am Holli's little sis. You are so cool! How did you learn to knit like that? I just started knitting last week--at enrichment we learned how to knit scarves. I am no good though and had to unravel mine several times, so now I only have a couple of lines. :( But really, how did you get so good? Your projects amaze me!
