No need to adjust your monitor.
This is, in fact, a (blurry) Forecast sleeve:
One down, another to go. It would have gone a lot more quickly if I didn't need to rip out the sleeve partway a second time because more decreases were needed, and if I wouldn't insist upon spending Sunday in its almost-entirety cooking (my stomach is cool with that, though).
Really, it could use even more decreasing. Maybe I'm totally off my rocker and had far too many stitches to begin with, but I suspect not. The garter stitch stretches like crazy and despite aggressive decreasing, there is more bagginess than I like.
Speaking of forecasts and sweaters: I bought a few sweaters on Saturday and whaddya know, the forecast for Minneapolis is sunny and 60 until Saturday. (It most certainly is not sunny and 60 today, however.)
One thing I love about knitting: I can go shopping for sweaters and identify the stitch patterns. I got a nice chocolate brown cardigan at Ann Taylor (on clearance, of course) and it's done up in frost flowers.
There's a new Knit.1 magazine on the shelves and it only has a few interesting things. I didn't buy it, but I'm borrowing the idea to make tall cabled legwarmers out of ivory Wool-Ease Chunky. I want to wear a lot of skirts this winter, and I'm very into ivory and cables, so they seem to be the obvious choice. I'm going to do a medallion-type cable instead of yet another staghorn.
