I finished the right front of my 'Must Have' last night while watching Grey's Anatomy. I had to do an unfortunate bit of ripping on Saturday, and then some repair yesterday. But it's done. The only problem is that it's a tad longer than the left below the armhole even though the row count matches up on paper. I'm guessing I was just a bit looser working the second piece. I'm sure blocking will even things out.
I'm excited to get started on the back. In the finished ones I've seen, the back is where the cables really shine.
I've still totally got the Ribby on my mind. Then, yesterday, M. and I were sitting in the bedroom with Spencer, and I caught sight of my Anjuli (cover cardigan from Jo Sharp's early Rudgyard Story) peeking out of a basket. I've always loved this pattern, and the photos of the model wearing it seaside.
You may recall me mentioning before that we both seem to have lost finished pieces of our Anjuli's, making them permanently stalled projects since we don't want to continue if we can't find the finished pieces because, of course, we wouldn't have enough yarn to redo them (and we bought the yarn and started these several years back). (In reality, mine is too big anyway.) At any rate, I was looking at the Anjuli peeking out at me and thinking that we could buy all new yarn/colors of the Peruvian Highland wool and just start over. (I'd definitely pick different colors this time, too!) M.'s been 'off' knitting for a while now (partly joint issues), but she, too, was tempted by the idea of resurrecting Anjuli as a project even using new yarns. I'm going to find the pattern collection today, take a fresh look at sizes (we both need smaller than we used to), and look at some colors.
(The Rudgyard Story is one of my favorite collections, actually. Wattletop, another that remains on my "someday" list is in that same collection. Love the Knitting Bazaar collection, too. Megan has yarn for Emporium, and I've always wanted to make the cover Boheme.)
