Just yoking

How lovely do all warm materials feel right now! My gray alpaca cardigan was on hold the whole summer but recently it got sleeves and now it’s time for gently laced yoke.

Look at the amount of stitches of it…

This modest looking yarn is actually Colourmart 100% cashmere. It could easily pass as unbleached loosely spun cotton in its oiled state. We’ll see the transformation later when I wash and tumble dry this knit. Mmm-hmmm, what’s it gonna be, then? Some of you might have recognized the long garter stitch ribbings of Eunny’s Tangled Yoke Cardigan.

I should knit a bathroom rug, but the idea of small and VERY thick tablet seems much more alluring right now. I just remembered why I don’t like large crochet projects worked in circle. Every round is more tedious than previous one. During last ones couple of epic movies could easily been watched. *sigh*

See, how my aestethic side was overdriven with this one. The lovely crochet hook was twice as long with beautiful carved end when I started this project. But sooner or later that loveliness would have induced an arthritis to aesthetics wrists… …so I let my saw to do its sad but necessary job…
