Thanks to a complete screw up on my part I cast on for the Dollar and a Half Cardigan completely quilt free this weekend. I failed to order enough yarn to complete Wicked, so while I’m waiting for the yarn to finish Wicked I started the DnHC! I decided to substitute Cotton Fleece for the Soft Linen. This is the first time I’ve used this yarn and I love it. I don’t know if I like knitting in My New Space, knitting the lace pattern or the yarn more, maybe all three. I can’t seem to put it down! Hopefully I’ll be accepted to the KAL along soon and I’ll be posting more pictures there.
Oh and I’m at a conference today and tomorrow and at the beginning the presenter said – if you’re a knitter feel free to knit! How awesome is that? Had I known I probably would have cast on for a scarf or something small and easy to work with. Maybe I will tonight and bring it with me tomorrow.

What a cool presenter! How come they never say things like that at the tax conferences? I went into the wrong line of work, apparently.

I’ve never been at any conference and had someone say that we were free to knit throughout. Maybe it’s a sign or something.

What a nice presenter-person! I wish someone at the dumb-ass meetings I have to go to would say that!

That’s what I call a great conference! Knitting while listening to interesting presentations, it doesn’t get much better.
See, your Dollar and a Half Cardigan was meant to be. By the time you get the yarn to complete Wicked, it’ll be done!

Everything happens for a reason….

Aah, that is too nice. I remember once library conference where the presenter told us it was okay to knit. I saw a chocolate brown sweater, a pair of fingerless mittens, and a few other projects pop out of folks bags, it was hilarious.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the Cotton Fleece. It’s a fantastic DK weight substitue with fantastic yardage for the price. Can’t wait to see more progress on your cardigan. I’m definitely knitting vicariously through you at this point!
