"
Dude! You've got, like, a sleeve cap already. Rock!"
Says Sleeve 2 to Sleeve 1.
Wanna know what I've been knitting in the evening? Well, you're looking at it. Sleeve 2 of Captain Destructo's
Linen Jacket. I watched
Mona Lisa Smile for the first time while knitting Sleeve 2 and the only thing I could think was, "Good thing I have some knitting to entertain me." Having the girls in the film shout "Carpe Diem!" and seeing Kirsten Dunst's hateful character climb on a desk while crying out, "Oh Captain, my Captain!" may have made it a little more entertaining, but that didn't happen. Skinny Rabbit One Word DVD Review: Lame. But we still love you, Julia Roberts! Yes, even if you once got married in your bare feet.
Anyway. Back to sleeves. I'm still not tired of working those little intarsia stripes so tonight's knitting session may very well get me mid-way through the sleeve cap shaping of Sleeve 2. (Can't work on
Crinkle at night; black is cool and urban and all that but finishing's gotta be done in daylight in order to avoid
boneheaded moments.)
And while we're on the subject of intarsia...
Sweater images of the day. To the left is Kenzo's knit sweater Fall 2006 (here's the
same one in another color) and to the right is Rowan 40's "Eveleen". Flowers like those remind me of European patterned textiles from the 18th century, like
this and
this. I don't plan on knitting anything like this but that looks like some seriously fun intarsia.
