After wearing my lovely green sweater on Monday, I realized that it was  just too loose.  i am  going to undo the sleeve attachments to the body, and reknit the body, but just down the sides.  I figure it will help to pull the bust in a bit.  The sweater is really light weight, though, and looks really cute on me, so I am super pleased with it.

I have also finally started a clapotis. I am using the yarn that I over dyed last summer; I have been intending to make this for a long time, I just never got around to it. I don't have any real expectations for this project, but I am really enjoying the color shifts. I did a nice job dyeing it , if I do say so myself. I haven't made it past the second section yet, so I am  still on the increase section... but I did discover an interesting method.  It was suggested that to eliminate the need for so many stitch markers, one should PURL the stitch that is to be dropped.  What a clever idea!  I am so grateful for the internet, and the fact that I no longer have to try to think for myself! The next thing I want to work on is the stripey socks, also from last summer.  I put these off when I realized I wouldn't have enough to make 2 decent sized socks.  My fiance likes his socks fairly tall, and this was just one single, solitary Regia ball... So i decided, when we went to the yarn shop on

So i decided, when we went to the yarn shop on Friday, to pick up a skien of black.  My plan is to knit black toes and heels, and hopefully there will be enough yarn to make a complete pair of tall socks for the fiance.  This is such a gorgeous shifting color way, I just love it.  I wish there was more  so I could have a pair!
