I won't Knit Cardicho

By -
This is Cardicho,  a Tutto pattern.  I won't knit it anytime soon.
Alpaca fuzz on size 4 needles is very alluring.....but I know myself.  I don't think I could stick with it.  It is lovely, however, and my old knit pal Kathy Cullerton would love the construction.....
I love the three colors and how they lay nicely with one another.   I also love the v neck.  

sigh.....not for me.  I'm still enjoying my sock knitting....

Does it tempt you?

I love the design...but I bet I would hate knitting it (I can't even seem to finish a knitted tank top!!). I plan/hope to get started on a pair of socks this weekend while I watch it snow.

No, this one doesn't tempt me. I tend to like things with more of a defined shape.

That is a nice design...but it doesn't tempt me. I've got to get my knitting mojo back.

I think it's intriguing, but am not interested in knitting it. And even if it turned out perfectly, it's not something I'd wear ...

I can appreciate its beauty, but I don't think it is for me.

No, the design doesn't tempt me, but I do love the colors.

I bought the pattern and the yarn from Three Bags in the middle of December. I have begun knitting it. I changed out the yellow for a different color. Obviously it tempted me and I fell to the temptation.

Interesting construction and use of color but it looks like a slog of a knitting experience.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
