For the last few days, I've been frogging. Yes, frogging. Not my knitting, my mother's. Years ago she made me this immense sweater. It was huge . . . you could fit 3 people into it. I think I've worn it 5 times, out of desperation . . . on laundry day. So I frogged it. What can I say - I need yarn to knit with and I have no $$. Now I'm in search of the perfect V neck cardigan pattern. I was going to do the Dollar and a Half Cardigan from the latest IK with it - but alas, it seems to be slightly too heavy. I mean, it's a worsted weight, and the pattern calls for a worsted weight . . . but it was SO stiff when I swatched it. Maybe I'll try again - more than one row this time. I really like that cardi. Is it the sweater I like, or the photo??

Because I keep getting asked . . .
Here is the link to the mitten pattern!

I really like the sweater too. And it doesn't look like the photo is staged so something _other_ than the sweater get center attention, so maybe it really is a good knit :-)
