I’m sorry but I have failed at being faithful ;). I have been thinking about making the cardigan on the cover of Lace Style since it came out:
This looked like the perfect summer cardi to wear in the meat locker they call my workplace! Do they really need to keep it at 50 degrees??
The cardi takes chunky weight yarn: 90 yds to 50 gm. I’ve been searching and searching for yarn.  I finally found my dream yarn today: Sublime Aran in “Clipper’ which is denim blue. It is 75% merino, 20% silk, and 5% cashmere. Oh my! It could NOT be softer, and I thought the denim would look cute with everything.Â
I am just getting started and could not get a good picture, but you get the idea. The fabric is not as “white” in places as it looks here, but it does get that washed denim look from light reflection.  I love it so far. My justification is two-fold: I need a summer sweater, it is mindless knitting, and my Mitered Tote is nearing completion :). Â
I came home and said to Hubby, “Hey, I bought more yarn” and he said, “Keep on buying yarn until we run out of money.” Okay, dear, anything you say!

You, temptress! That & Katherine Hepburn are on my list for next year! Though I guess I could start early since they both qualify as “sweaters”.
Your husband is a keeper 😉

I’m glad your husband understands the even distribution of wealth within a marriage: He makes it, you spend it! 🙂

Oh my goodness! That is going to be a treat to wear. I have that book but only scanned it. I suppose it deserves another look 🙂
