Happy Presidents Day!
I work at a financial institution which means I get the day off! So I say MORE KNITTING!! I have been petting the skein of hand spun superwash BFL I picked up awhile back.
And then it hit me, I had just shy of enough yards for a Calorimetry by Kathrn Shoendorf.
How can you not want to knit something like this when the author is this excited? (Photo credit to © Kathryn Schoendorf and the Calorimetry Rav page)
So off I go in search of my US 8 straight bamboo needles. I seriously haven’t used straights in AGES! But all my other 8s are tied up with baby sweaters so I gotta do what I gotta do! I’ll also need to make a couple of mods to the pattern length or width to make sure I have enough yarn but I’m a big girl I think I can handle it!
P.S. This will be 2014 Stashbustin’ #10 for those keeping track.
Happy Knitting!!

Yes indeed…start knitting. I have yet to try this pattern but mean to at some point in my life….LOL
Lucky you! I’m at work, so will be knitting vicariously through everyone who has the day off 😉
My husband works for a financial institution, too, but has to work today. Thing 2 has a school day to make up for a snow day, so it’s business as usual around here. I’m trying to come up with a better chore system. Bleh.
I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Oh man, I haven’t used straights in forever either. Should be worth it though!
That is one excited looking author. I still use straights all the time, I actually really like knitting with them. Hooray for more stash busting.
I’ve made a number of these and love them. Quick to do and they make great gifts. I highly recommend these,
I love this picture! I actually did this at work today lol! X
