It&#8217;s currently on it&#8217;s second trip through the wash cycle.  It looked pretty good after the first trip, but it was a bit bigger than I&#8217;d planned and I thought it would be sturdier after a second felting.  Hopefully it won&#8217;t be too small when I go down to check on it in a few minutes!  And then I just have to hope it dries in time to do the needle felting embellishment and get it in the mail on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>I have to confess, I love these colors so much that I went back to the yarn shop yesterday to get more.  I&#8217;m going to try to make a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knitty.com\/ISSUEspring03\/PATTjanda.html\">Janda<\/a>-style sweater, but as a cardigan.  I got a lighter green as well, thinking I could make a Carrie-sized sweater.  Because, of course, I have no other yarn anywhere in the house that could be made into Sarah- or Carrie-sized sweaters.  The yarn is Cascade 220, so it&#8217;s already pretty cheap, and it was on sale for 25% off.  How could I pass it up?  Or the  skein of sock yarn (oranges, purples, yellows and greens!) that somehow magically appeared in my basket when I was checking out?<\/p>\n<p>My goal for the week: find all the sock yarn in my craft room and put it in one place.  I&#8217;m pretty sure, after going to this huge sale at my LYS no less than three (3!) times, that I now qualify as having an <em>obscene<\/em> amount of sock yarn.  How many socks can one person knit, anyway?!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carrie is modeling the bag I&#8217;m knitting for the knit mitten kit swap.
