2 weeks without a computer led to loads of knitting time. I cast on for the Sunrise Circle Jacket after looking at a bazillion versions on Ravelry. I'm using Noro Silk Garden. I've seen loads of this design around the internet in solid or tweedy colors, but when I saw the handful of Noro versions on Ravelry it become one of those I-need-to-make-it-NOW-please projects. The curved radiating stripes were what did it.
Between the color changes in the yarn and the increasing semicircle, this has been flying by. Thats all of a sleeve and part of a front, knit in one piece. The novelty is starting to wear off now that the rows are getting so long (150+ stitches?). I doubt I'll finish this while it's still cold enough to wear it...
Found you through Jen(la) and thought - wow! another yurt living off-gridder? I'm not alone! Course, we live in our house now but still off-grid, still crazy - will check back - good to meet you.
