From Susan — Anya was On Me

Filed under: Anya,Updates — lv2knit @ 3:52 pm

I wore Anya all day yesterday at the craft show.  It was very comfortable and soft — like an old shoe.  That’s exactly what I wanted from this sweater.  I was not looking for a fashion-forward, edgy, exotic sweater, but a down-to-earth, wear-it-every-day sweater. 

Thanks to everyone who commented.  What nice people you all are.  I especially like blog surfing on the links you provide with your names.  It’s very nice to see what everyone in knitdom is up to. 

As for me, knitting has not been in the picture.  I am drowning in life, bobbing with my head precariously near the surface, sinking dangerously beneath the churning surf occasionally.  Blub blub.

I have decided that only lists will save me.  If it’s not written down, it will not “get in queue.”  If it is not in queue, it will not become a priority.  If it’s not a priority, it will not get done.  Simple.

I am very glad that Sally already knitted the Moebius Lace Scarf.  She has agreed to lend it to me to serve as the shop sample until I get mine finished (it is on the list, but has not made it to the top of the queue!).  That bought me some very valuable time.

  1. Sounds like Anya is a great wearable sweater. And I agree, I absolutely need to make lists or I don’t have a hope of getting anything accomplished.

  3. Anya is cute and perfect for a comfy wear-every-day sweater! I’m going to have to try your
    bind off for the collar.(one of these days. If I ever finish anything with a collar).

    Saved By A List. Here’s hoping!

  4. Comfortable and soft, and very pretty. A classic. Thanks for sharing your bind-off technique, I’m going to try it.
