I&#8217;m calling it the Oh What a Relief T. To see what it&#8217;s supposed to look like if it is done by a super craftswoman, go look at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.girlreaction.prettyposies.com\/spicey.html\">Carolyn&#8217;s<\/a>. It&#8217;s beautiful. Though I yearn to use GGH or Rowan yarn, I am using super cheap <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coatsandclark.com\/find_a_product\/knitting_crochet\/E516\/html\/e516.htm\">TLC cotton\/acrylic yarn<\/a> for this project. You know what? It&#8217;s actually not that bad. It&#8217;s a little silkier in texture than Lion Brand Cotton-Ease, another cheapo that I rather like.<br \/>\nAnother sweater on my list of to-dos is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knitty.com\/ISSUEspring04\/PATTgrace.html\">Grace<\/a> from the latest Knitty. I was searching around for various fuzzy yarns, but then the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lionbrand.com\">Lion Brand<\/a> catalog appeared in my mailbox. As I flipped through it, one yarn caught my eye&#8211;Imagine. It&#8217;s a mohair\/acrylic blend, and the gauge is just what is called for for Grace! I promptly ordered a few bucks&#8217; worth of the stuff in color cerise. I think it will be a good experiment, especially since I am not sure how practical Grace is really going to be. I&#8217;m worried that the mohair is going to make my body all hot but my arms cold!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just started knitting the Sweater with Relief Pattern (yeah, super catchy name, huh?) from Rebecca #22.
