How fun! Alison e-mailed me yesterday that Supurlfluous is hosting a Vintage Knits Along! I sent her my name this morning.

Progress Report:



That represents progress up to last night. For some reason, the waist ribbing took me a while. All the Allergy Medication Naps didn’t help. That photo also represents, along with my swatch, the first ball of Linen Drape. I have eight balls and you can see (or not) by my Amusing Vintage Churngold Butter Ruler (“For the Ladies Workbasket”) that I got to just over five and a half inches. The full back is going to be eighteen and a half inches, the front a little less and the sleeves are short. Am I going to have enough yarn? I admit I’m worried. (Buying an extra ball of yarn for a project is another Lesson I Can’t Seem to Learn.)

I got more done today while perusing e-bay, and then the spring issue of Knitty. I’ll bet you knew I’d be all over THIS. Side note: Bad Penny would be a good title for one of those ubiquitous “chick lit” novels.
