Girlzilla wanted me to make a sweater for her and we decided on the tubey sweater from knitty. This was started around Valentine's Day and it's been a pretty fast knit. Really the hardest part has just been taking the time to actually be able to knit instead of the work-teach-clean-cook-drop dead cycle that has been my life lately. The yarns we chose aren't quite like the original, though. The shrug-like top part is Caron Simply Soft in a sort of brick red and the body is most like the Angel Hair super-soft fuzzy stuff (lost the band, so sue me) in all sorts of beautiful reds and purples. The shrug seemed to take forever and now that I've started the body it seems to be going fastfastfast.
Doesn't hurt that I was able to watch Jekyll and knit.
Jekyll is Exhibit J in a series of infinity of why British TV rocks. It's one of those productions where you hope evrybody involved makes boatloads of money. (Except maybe the sound guy. The music gets annoying sometimes and sometimes the ambient noise makes dialogue really hard to hear. There's so much dark humor and wordplay that you really need to catch every bit.)
You don't have to knit, but certainly...watch Jekyll.
That is all.
