The Yarnista Answers Your Questions, part five
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 6:42PM
It's time for another installment, don't you agree? There are just so many pressing questions that must be answered, so I better stop chit-chatting the day away and wasting time. I should get to the questions immediately. Post haste. I should hurry up and stop rattling around and actually do what I say I'm going to. For Pete's sake and honest to goodness.
Jaime, dear friend, asks:
The Yarnista -- here we are, back to referring to The Yarnista in the third person -- does get to knit. The Yarnista just cast on for a new sweater over the weekend, actually. Here 'tis.
Giselle has several options. My version is light gray. I will be doing the longer all-knit version, and I will likely be modifying the sleeves so they're a little plainer.
Because I'm really a plain person. Just have a look around my website, you can just feel the plainness permeating every surface. I really hope that's the feeling you get when you visit this blog, too, Jaime. "Wow, I just love this really plainplainplain website."
Did The Yarnista forget and begin referring to herself in the first person again? Oh.
I am also also log-cabinning away on a log cabin blanket. I think we should all work to incorporate the verb log-cabinning into our repertoire. It's so important to expand one's vocabulary.
I shall take a picture of my progress on Giselle soon and report back for duty.
Jaime, dear friend, asks:
Does Yarnista EVER get to actually knit?? Being a Mommy with 3 kids,a wife(cooking cleaning,laundry,mopping), a friend, a shop owner, account keeper, Post Office runner, on the internet posting on blogs, ravelry, AND having her hands in the dye pot do you ever get to….knit?

that is a really lovely sweater. i have a niece that would look wonderful in that (not me. i'm frumpy & flat chested )
Oh hey-hey that's my question! LOL That sweater is so pretty,I bet it will look stunning on you! I don't think anything could look plain on a pretty Irish girl ;o)
I love Giselle - that's my ultimate sweater to make myself one day. Good choice!
Jamie forgot teacher. That alone can take most of the day. Wait! It DOES take most of the day. :-))
Any of your kids learning to do needelwork? VW likes to do MY needlework projects, or take them apart if he is so inclined that day. One must learn forwards and backwards to get the full picture.
