New Book and Project

It's been way too hot for me in Madison these past couple of days. I have no a/c in my apartment, so after work I seek refuge in the library until the sun goes down. I woke up early this morning, unable to sleep through the heat, and started a new sweater: the Middlefield Pullover from New England Knits.

I originally got this book from the library to make a different project, but when I saw how many cool patterns there were in the book, I purchased a copy for myself. I'm making it out of the same recycled sweater yarn that I made Tosha's Scarf from (see Ravelry project.) I know I said previously that I would soon do a "from-start-to-finish" recycled sweater project, but I also decided that I would use up all of the yarn that I already have (which is a lot) before going out and getting any more. I plan on making this sweater, at least two others, and the hat and the scarf from this book (ambitious, I know.) So many cool projects! I'm so happy I bought this book.

Now that I think about it, it's kind of silly sounding that I'm making a sweater when it's 80 billion degrees outside. WHATEVER. I do what I want.

I'm making this with size 7's instead of the recommended 8's, because I'm a small person and I don't have size 8's, and the nearest knitting store is too far away to conveniently get to by bus, so the only other way I can get there is by bike, AND IT'S TOO HOT to do that. 7's it is!

How about that Ravelry hack? Weird. I changed my password, did you?
