a semi-original, adapted pattern )

In other news, I started a lopi sweater Sat evening, after I finished the prayer shawl for Myrna. That turned out quite nice, thank you for asking. I've got about 12" done on the body of the sweater, and since I'm using a finite qunatity of stash yarn, I'm doing the sleeves now, so that when I work in the next color, the sleeves and body will match.

It's a fast pattern--size 10 needles, a big soft wool singles yarn, and in-the-round construction. I love in-the-round construction; no seams, no back-and-forth purling that slows you down, just round and round and round until it's done.

I still plan to do a lap blanket or something for Myrna's husband, Stan, I just haven't decided on which yarn/pattern. Well, pattern will be determined by the yarn, but anyway....I'd rather use some of the pile Myrna gave me last month, I think that'd be a neat gift: "Here, I'm returning some of your yarn, hope you don't mind that I played with it first...."
