If Startitis is a Disease

I don't want the cure!

Yes, I know I have two Sitcom Chics in my wardrobe already. Let me say that my Cara Mia is getting a lot of wear this winter. It's perfect around the house, but a little too big to wear out. So I had made the Adara Chic one in the right size and I wore that a lot thru the summer and fall. The fit and style is very me and I find knitting them was very appealing.

So what could be better than a third Sitcom Chic? Why, a top down/dk weight version, of course!

I love top down construction. I like being able to try it on (like Beatrice). It's much easier to minimize seaming. Plus, increases are less bulky than decreases (and I find my increases neater looking than my decreases).

So while I'm still working on the body of Beatrice (a little more than 5 skeins to go!), I cast this baby on! The Key Largo (long discontinued) is knitting up like a dream. I have a huge stash of this yarn and just haven't found the right project for it. This hits the bill perfectly!

Tho' that Silky Tweed version looks tempting too, doesn't it?
