Stripe-less Essential Stripe Progress

Essential Stripe

It's coming along swimmingly! I'm very pleased with the top-down construction and I've tried it on and like the fit too. I have 2 1/2 balls of yarn left, so I'm sure I'll get the sleeves as long as I want them... elbow length! All the cool kids are doing it, apparently! Of course, as soon as I nearly reach the finish line, Oslo has a heat wave. Not complaining, mind you. And I know it won't last.

And in other news...

...the books I ordered from Amazon finally got here! One of which was Ann and Kay's Mason-Dixon Knitting which is just as fabulous as everyone is saying it is.

Bamboo yarn!

And of course I couldn't resist starting a Moderne Log Cabin with some oh-so-soft but oh-so-splitty Bamboo yarn from idena.

Here it is Friday evening...

And here it is now...

Addictive!
