O So Fickle!

I’m fickle.  See, I admit it. I’d use the ‘yarn harlot’ term, but it’s taken, you know what it means.

• I KNOW I said my project bags were full.  I found an empty one. 

• I KNOW I said I was going to finish the shell etc. first.  Margene’s ( sorry, Margene, I NEED a scapegoat here, and C just won’t work for this occasion) comments were pretty discouraging, especially the part about the yarn growing.  Who wants a shell with sagging armpits.  I already have enough sag in that department. 
• The good news, I used my stash!  I went shopping in the Stash Stacks.  This IS very VERY GOOD.

I went through my stack o’ patterns.  I eliminated everything I had swatched for.. who knows why.. it was the weekend, maybe the moon was in the wrong phase for whatever I had thought I’d make, whatever..
I went through my yarn.
I swatched again.. and voila!

  The first 8 inches of the Ribby Cardi.

What I did NOT condsider until I had the first 6 inches knitted:

• that the striping on the fronts will be broader, bigger
• that the striping on the sleeves will also be broader, bigger

My first thoughts on this are that I may knit the two fronts at the same time with a steek separating them, thus keeping the thinner stripes for the body.  The sleeves, I’ll leave them alone.  This was the first time I have used Noro’s Silk Garden.  I haven’t thought  much of the quality of the Noro yarns, but this stuff knits and feels great.  It’s a little bit funky and very casual.  I’m sure most every other knitter has used it, I had stashed it.  Anyone seen a ribby cardI out of this??  I’m open to suggestions.
