I have some knitting mojo back! I forced myself back into my Anya sweater, having gotten to a part on the front requiring a small amount of brain power. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Almost every knitter gets stuck when thinking or calculating becomes involved. It’s not that I only want to do mindless knitting — I would go crazy doing nothing but straight stockinette or garter and nothing else. BUT, when I need to stop and figure something out, it can put the brakes on a project and even be fatal.
In case you forgot what Anya looks like, (mine has raglan shaping):
Because I am very committed to wearing this bad boy, I pushed onward. After ten minutes of calculating, the front did not take very long to finish. So, I got to start the sleeves — and I love them! I love the little ruffle-like edge at the bottom. I did have to do some figuring because I am adjusting the size, but was so inspired that it did not slow me down. I really love the yarn and hope to be wearing this in the next week or two.
Very fun knitting. I wish I had more time to knit. This is such a busy time of year — fun, but crazy!!
The ruffles are adorable. Hmm, most of my knitting are “girls”. especially when they have a feminine name! I love that colour.

What beautiful yarn. I love the tweedy specks throughout! Now, how did you get so good a gauging your size?
