Yes, it was all but done. The North Shore Pullover. Now why would anyone who HATES "wrong-side-out" styled sweaters make a sweater that consists of six panels which have exposed seams? I don't even like the purl background of cables, if it is too obvious. I took it apart again and I am in the process of seaming it on the wrong--that is to say CORRECT--side.
Then, instead of seaming up the front, I will put on ribbing from the right center bottom all the way up and around the neck and back down again. It will be a good chance for me to learn buttonholes and a good chance for me to use stash buttons.

Yup, it is 48 degrees F.
What is it? I do not know, but whatever it is, it is finished. It is a sort of rectangle shape and drapes across the shoulders like a shawl but it is not really shawl length, more cape-like. The yarn is: Misti Alpaca chunky with Cherry Tree Hill Alpaca Glitter. I knit it and unknit it and reknit it and unknit it and finally on the last reknit, I said, "That's enough of that." It is what it is.
I found a huge button in my stash just the right size and color. Helen and I both found similar difficulty working on this very simple pattern. It was a case of seeing one in the shop, getting excited about it, buying the yarn and being told, "You don't need a pattern; here's what you do--" and then a myriad of interruptions follow and Helen and Michelle give up and decide to figure it out on their own. How hard could it be?
When Jeff and I arrived in the mountains in July, THIS shawl had a moth on it the size of Kentucky. Maybe it was never destined to be a garment and is in a temporary shape awaiting its turn to be food for larval moths.
I really enjoyed the Farmers' Market yesterday. I bought summer squash, red peppers, and corn. Then we went to a smallish festival out at the Historical Museum and I met a lady who learned to spin this summer. She had a beautiful Kromski Minstrel wheel. Maybe I will meet more spinners soon.
I love my Kaleidoscope program. It makes my market veggies look like art.
