Not Spinning

 

I am working on something that isn't spinning right now too!  This is the top portion of the Peasy cardigan.  I'm knitting it in Malabrigo Arroyo in Reflecting Pool.  I'm knitting it for the Third Quarter KAL for ESK.  The KAL theme is patterns 10 years old or older designed by Canadian designers.  I've had the Peasy pattern in my library for ages but I've never gotten around to making it.  This KAL is the perfect excuse to finally do it.

The simple top-down design gives me something brainless to do now that I'm through the lace yoke (which isn't difficult, but did require a brain cell or two).  It's also nice to have if I want to watch TV.  I tend to treadle faster when I attempt to spin and watch TV at the same time.  I can listen to music and podcasts, but TV is just too much for me to spin with, apparently.

Also, I sat down last night and knit a gauge swatch from my sweater quantity of merino handspun (the Aguas/Aguas/Zarzamora combo).  I haven't double checked the actual gauge after washing it, but it feels amazing - so soft and light!
