When the Spring Knitty came out I instantly fell in love with Carolyn. I even had the yarn in my stash to knit it! Like I always do, I started to modify the pattern in my head. I could knit it in one piece. I could change the stitch count for the right amount of ease. I could knit it on the machine! And so I did, but that story and version is not ready for publication. And it is not for me. It is not for me because I became completely obsessed with making Carolyn in dark brown and light celadon for me. I went to my LYS, gift certificate in hand and found nothing. So I paid a little visit to Elann and got some Peruvian Highland Wool to make one for myself. Finally, yesterday, after borrowing Jenny's machine for about six weeks I finally cast on and knit a sleeve. I could have a new sweater by next week!
