10.18.2006 :: A green sweater with 1 1/2 sleeves
I'm trying to finish the second sleeve to the Knitting Pure and Simple sweater (yarn is Vermont Mountain Mohair, colorway Moss) so I can wear this while attending the Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY this weekend.
I mean, I may be wearing it. I'm not sure it will fit. Sure, I've tried it on. One time it fit perfectly. The next it seemed a bit small. The next I loved it. Next: hated it.
What will happen will be a mystery, even to me. I will wear it. Or I won't. I'll wear something you can rest assured. I guess if I did not wear anything, I'd be easier to pick me out in the crowd. Although, you'd be sure to need some therapy after that one, I'm sure.
I can't wait to go. And of course, I get the attack of nerves that everyone gets. We all turn into second graders heading to the first sleep over. You know, "what if they don't like me!".
Must knit now. Sleeves don't knit themselves you know!

Hope you like it. Either way, just remember how lucky you are to be going to Rhinebeck!

I'll keep an eye out for you, new sweater or not! It's been too long, I can't wait to see you.

You've got a sleeve, I've got a neckline... there's always Friday evening in the hotel lounge. ;-)
See you soon!!!

Yeah, I like you, and I haven't met you yet. I think it's safe to say that I'll like you then, too!

Beautiful sweater. Hope you have a great time at Rhinbeck. 2nd graders, LOL-I almost did not join my knitting group for the same reason. Silly us...

Great looking sweater.
I hope you have a great time at the festival!!!!

Yeah, I can relate to that second grade thing. I get so nervous meeting new people - especially people that I want to like me. What if I say something stupid? What if I don't know what to say?
I am so looking forward to getting away this weekend - see you soon!

Oh now we already like you!! No worries!! But I am ready to do cartwheels around the house! I will have to make sure to use the cruise control.. don't want any tickets cutting into my yarn fund!

I'm making the same sweater, adding stripes and a collar. But I won't be at Rhinebeck. I'll be at home, working and being envious.

Good luck with the sweater It's supposed to be a little brisk so going topless might not be an option!
Hope to see you at Rhinebeck!

Waah. I feel like the girl who didn't get invited to the slumber party. Maybe next year.
Hope you finish that sweater. It could be a bit chilly the other way....

ok, so now i have to worry about whether or not people like me?
so if you go topless and i show my nipple, we'll be quite a pair.
Posted by: maryse on 10.19.2006 AT 06:15 AM
Hmmmm, I wonder if I'll like you......
Wait, I already DO!

And the second grader thing -- you read my mind, baby.
Posted by: Kathy on 10.18.2006 AT 11:34 PM
Just don't wash it :-)
Posted by: Kathy on 10.18.2006 AT 11:33 PM
I like you and I get to ride and bunk with you too!! Please bring your sweater finished or not- I'd like to check out the yarn too. Oh, and I have a surprise for you.Hehe. You'll have to wait 'til Rhinebeck.
Posted by: Manise on 10.18.2006 AT 11:20 PM
Hahaha...I'm glad I'm not the only one who morphs into a 2nd grader. I'm making the big trek from TX up to Rhinebeck and can't wait!
Posted by: sarah b. on 10.18.2006 AT 10:06 PM
They *already* like you, so no worries :-)
The sweater (or at least the arm I can see) looks soft and lovely. Here's hoping you finish it soon, even if it doesn't make an appearance at the hallowed Rhinebeck.

I think I dated your sweater for a while in my mid-20's.
Posted by: Cookie on 10.18.2006 AT 09:01 PM
I was telling Maryse that I felt like I was going on a first date - with the entire knit blog community! I hope I get to meet you there.
Your sweater is beautiful - whether you wear it or not. (Is that like a tree falling in the woods?)

Doesn't matter. We love you. I want see that sweater...I dream of knitting something in that yarn.
Posted by: Laurie on 10.18.2006 AT 07:39 PM
Well, that Lady Godiva costume WOULD be memorable!
Posted by: --Deb on 10.18.2006 AT 06:16 PM
Hey, guess what? I already like you. LOTS and LOTS. See you SOOOOOOON.
Posted by: Carole on 10.18.2006 AT 06:16 PM
We can show up naked together. ;-)
Posted by: Cara on 10.18.2006 AT 06:10 PM
It looks like a great sweater. Going to Rhinebeck without anything on would be pretty chilly too. Although you might get some stuff discounted.
Posted by: Dorothy B on 10.18.2006 AT 05:32 PM
Plus, if you weren't wearing anything, you'd probably get hypothermia. :)
