Life has been busy here, but in a good way. Work has been picking up and so my days have felt a little fuller. Accordingly, my knitting has slowed down a little, although I have been hit with a touch of the startitis that's been going around. (Is there a vaccine for that?) I'm still plugging away at the same things I've been working on, but have added a few new things as well.
A couple of weekends ago I sent off a swatch of the yarn I'm using for Rogue to ZipperStop so that they could pick out the most coordinating color for my zipper, and it had arrived after I got home from a conference in Chicago. This is my very first zipper, and I'm pretty please with how it all turned out. I know, the photo doesn't show off the zipper all that well, so you can click here to see a detail of the zipper at the throat. Looking at the photo on the left though, I'm thinking that Rogue would make a mighty fine vest. Maybe with a little more of the applied i-cord around the armholes, no? Not to worry, the sleeves for this Rogue have been knitted and blocked, and they'll get sewn on soon, but it's an interesting thought. Anyway, I remembered having seen several discussions about sewing a zipper into your knitting, and ultimately referred to Stephannie's photos from her adventures with her Eris, which was mighty helpful.
