Michael has gone to PetSmart to help out with BARC’s pet adoption weekend. Ellie and all the cats are napping*. My plan was to only do fun things today.

Fun usually means knitting, but I will let you in on a little secret:

Stockinette can be Very Boring.

I only did ribbing for 3″ – 3.75″ seemed like a lot of band.

So there is a loaf of bread in the oven, I cleaned the kitchen and uploaded some pictures.

And my thoughts turn to this:

It’s that Blue Sky Sportweight.

It wants to be a simple cabled vest (I haven’t found a pattern). I want it to be right for the February Lady Sweater. Fuzzy alpaca is completely wrong**, but I have become obsessed with that sweater to the point of dragging out all my yarn in search of candidates. The yarn and I are at an Impasse.

I will ponder this while I knit stockinette.

*Ellie and I don’t get to attend pet adoptions right now due to Nap Placement.
**I could be wrong, I think I should swatch anyway, don’t you?
