So KBTH, where I have probably posted four times in four years, is having a knitalong for Jade Starmore's Beadwork, and I can never resist a knitalong where I own the instructions and the yarn already (no matter how badly KALs have gone for me in the past). So I did this... Beadwork "swatch" (sleeve) It's Frangipani in Crushed Raspberry, a popular shade I'm thinking, because I've seen it used for a couple of other swatches on the KAL page on Yahoo Groups. I figured I'm a "Tight, bitter knitter" so even though the gauge seems to be a challenge, I would be fine, so I went one needle size and started. I'm resizing it sort of my own way. I like narrow sleeves, so I'm doing the child's Large 18 cm sleeve. That will fit my little wrists (people make fun of them at karate, they're so small and breakable looking) just fine. I'll make it longer, modify the body using the picture and my unique tastes, and end up with something... finish
No one is listening...
