Is this Day 3 because it's the third KCBW post? Or Day 4 because it's the 4th day even though I skipped one?
In any case, I am ready for Where Are They Now, because I was planning a post about this before I ever heard of this blog week dealio. A couple of weeks ago I was in New Mexico on a family visit and also, it turned out, on a visit to some of my knitted creations. To wit:
A ruana made with a curious fine gauge rayon chenille that I think I got from Cotton Clouds. Here it is. Solid and varigated. Beautiful colors. I was learning to do domino knitting, and based it on, I believe, a poncho design in Hoxbro's book.
AND the Nebraska state sweater, a kit from SWAK. The perceptive among you will notice that the pattern was changed from a pullover to a cardigan, and that the Go Big Red sleeve was changed because the recipient was not a big football fan. Yes, the buttons are little ears of corn.
Last of all, a sweater I had completely forgotten, a cardigan based on the famous Vogue Knitting world map sweater, again, a pullover-to-cardigan conversion. 100% silk yarn dyed blue and green so as to remove country and continent borders and make it a planet, not a map.
