Is that... Lace???


My Basic Chic Hoodie is progressing... quite well, actually. After that one panel got fixed (twice), I've been on a roll. I actually found a pretty lace pattern that I can memorize (yay!).

I figured a project would come along and get me back into the groove. Of course it's something I needed rather than just wanted. I'm hoping that this hoodie will be like a denim jacket... goes with everything, light weight, not bulky. So far, it seems to be fitting the bill.

The yarn is knitting up just like I wanted, too. The 400 yd skeins is great (less ends to weave in), but since it's on a ball, I've got to watch for it kinking up on me.

So I've divided for the sleeves and I'm several inches into the body. Now it's just a matter of back and forth on the body. If only I could knit and play Dragon Age at the same time (well, I sorta do... some of the cutscenes are nice and long, and if I don't skip them, I can sneak a little knitting in. Hmmm... then I wonder why I can't knit lace. Think it might be a distraction issue?)
