New project, new project!

I’ve officially decided that I’m going to knit Josephine, and I’m going to knit it small.

It’s in the new Interweave Knits. I love it. I can’t tell you how much, but I so love it. I’ve picked the yarn, but can’t decide on a color.

And I’m recruiting. My friend Carol is knitting it with me. Hayden my love, are you going to knit it with me? (Hurry up and finish that sweater)! And I’m trying to tempt my sister. She lives in Texas, but I think this could be an appropriate knit for San Antonio. She’s all but given up on knitting since moving there, (I will never live somewhere warm. That scenario is just too horrible to consider) but she made a hat for her darling new husband during their freak ice storm a few months ago. (Good job!!!)

I’m going to knit the 44 inch bust, because I’m already dropping inches (tho’ not so much in the chest yet), and I figure my “skinny” bust will measure 40. Right now I’m at 48.

I really don’t know much about ease, and how much ease I like. I tend to like things snug at the bust (be quiet, Julie), but the next smallest size is a 40 inch, and I’m going to need to wear a shirt under it. So 44 sounds like the best bet.

I have to finish a couple things first. Like the fingerless gloves I haven’t started yet, and the Uptown Boot socks.
