The Gators move on, and so do I

But there is a potential bracket buster.

So the Wrapped Baby Cardigan is looking good...



(Sorry that it looks like a knitted blob. I'm too lazy to place the stitches on a holder.)
I'm using Rowan Silk Wool DK in Greenwood, which I bought at Gene Ann's in Barrington, IL when I was visiting the inlaws last year. I used a skein of it to knit a pair of mittens.
I have a friend who is having a baby, so I thought it would make a lovely Wrapped Cardigan. And with that, I took the remaining three skeins and casted on.
The sleeve alone took almost a skein! I was shocked. I unraveled the mittens that I knitted earlier and added it to the sweater (which is why the yarn is curled).

If you read about my orange sweater, you know I have a history of running out of yarn.

But in my defense, it's a sweater for a 12-month-old. Should it really take 5 skeins of yarn?

Well, we'll see, I guess. I have a skein left. I may have to get another skein. I hope it matches the dyelot I have now.

NIT!

It's March Madness and my bracket is already busted!

As a alumna of THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, I always pick Florida to win, and my Gators have done so the past two years. (Which has allowed me to win some fiber money at the expense of my coworkers' gambling habits.)

But, alas, this year, the Gators are a 2 seed in the NIT.

Which is fine with me, since it sounds like KNIT.

So in honor of the NIT, (and the NCAA tournament, which I have UNC winning, as I used to live in the Triangle of North Carolina) I will finish the eggplant sweater and the wrap cardigan by April 3 (which hopefully will be when Florida once again whomps Ohio State)

So Go Gators! Go Heels and let the kNITting begin!

Anyone with me?
