Believe it or not, I actually have been doing more than just cooking and meal planning; I just haven’t found the time to write about it! About two weeks ago I cast-on for Colonnade from the fall issue of Knitty. I thought about knitting it before the Sheep & Wool festival in October, but October was a rough month here and it just didn’t happen. Last week I don’t think I worked on it at all, but this week I’m hoping to finish up the stockinette portion and begin the lace columns portions. I am just in love with this shade of gray. It’s just Paton’s wool, and the colorway is “mercury.” I am seriously thinking about snatching up a few more skeins and looking for a cardigan pattern for myself! But one thing at a time. Too many other projects in the queue, so I can’t think about cardigans for a while. Really, I just ought to concentrate on finishing this up first and getting back to Laura’s Easter dress!
I love the color, too, and the name! I immediately thought “charcoal grey” when I saw the color. It’s beautiful!
