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.

Heh. Um, no, probably not. I’d rather do the VCC, or a different cardigan thing for fall. Of course, that’s after I finish up all the other stuff I have on needles, and the 2004 Christmas Sweater of Doom!
For the color, I like Rose, or 013 (second row)

I do like that sweater. wonder if i have anything in stash that will be a good substitute.

I’ll be doing mine in Sidar Breeze. I dug around and found a couple of skeins left in my stash, and BF had the same dye lot on clearance so I bought up the rest of it!

I like the same top too, and I would probably have to knit the 44 inch as well, although if I can lose 17 kilos I could make it smaller. What color are you going to make yours in.

Oh, pretty!! I love the sage (007), and the dark blue 011. Always hard to tell online though — there are a bunch in that sample with the potential to be great in natural light. 🙂

I’m partial to the “White Beach”, but I also like 013 in the newer colors.

I’m in. After the disaster in the ribby shell department, I hope I at least get to wear this one! btw, bloglines isn’t updating again.

I want this one too — do you have a kal or just informal?

[…] I’m still waiting for the Hempathy to come into my LYS that I ordered for Josephine. […]
