The tour is coming to San Francisco. I bought tickets. The Bill Murray Sweater officially has a deadline. December 8th. Time to get on it.
I think it’s really going to be more of a vest?!?
That said, instead of working on that particular project, I’m cast on with this:
I attempted to trade my Fade to Yellow skein for a Concrete & Tulips skein — aka the rainbow and grey colorway. It didn’t quite go down that way though. One enterprising Raveler talked me into trading her a skein of Miss Babs’ Yowza. It was a color I really wanted but…I wanted this more!
It’s can’t wait! It’s a self striping yarn but instead of consistent lengths of each color, the colors get progressively longer. Instead of a big fat stripe of red at the top and little tiny stripe of blue at the bottom, the stripes will all be the same height. It’s definitely a minor detail to the untrained eye but knitters have been geeking out over it for a while. This yarn was quite hard to get for a minute there.
I’m sure stripe magic will take over and it’ll be done in a jiffy!
Of course, the only reason I’m allowed to cast on anything at all, Marled Magic is almost completely finished. Just a bit of end weaving left. The braid & the tassel turned out just right. A bit fiddly at first but third time was the charm!
Stay tuned for full photos…they’ll be along soon.
In the meantime, it’s the weekend! Wooooooooo!

Can’t wait to see what you did with the transition from peach into what had to be another color! And I can’t wait to see the whole thing.

I haven’t heard of the Caterpillar Yarn; however I am intrigued by the progressively longer stripes. Was it made for a specific project or is there a project that shows off its full glory? I am very interested in what happens next!
I had no idea that Bill Murray has a band so I Google’d it. That is a very interesting story. I don’t know if you ever watched House; however Hugh Laurie has a blues band that is incredibly good. We saw the band in Napa at a little venue and were in the front row. The setting was intimate and it was almost like we had a private concert.

I did watch House! And I do know that he has a band! I saw them once :) I’m a fan! It is pretty weird to me when actors become musicians though…I’m not sure how I feel about this Bill Murray business. I didn’t actually like his Netflix Christmas special. Hopefully the live show is better :)
