I sent an email to Steph this afternoon announcing my intention to attempt to knit Knitting Pure &amp; Simple&#8217;s Neck Down Shaped Cardigan #241 in Rowan Tweed in 16 days.  This should be interesting since cast on is supposed to occur at 2 pm this Friday, and I&#8217;ll be in class (EAD, for those interested) until 4 pm.  The prof has warned us that there will be copious note taking, and I am wondering if she&#8217;ll think I&#8217;m not taking notes if I&#8217;m casting on a sweater&#8230; *sigh*  It&#8217;ll most likely have to wait until I get home. EAD also meets on Saturday, then again next Friday and Saturday.  And there&#8217;s Stitches.  Thankfully, I have President&#8217;s Day off from work.<\/p>\n<p>Stitches West is the weekend of the 18th.  I am planning on hitting the market Thursday night when they open it to students since my next opportunity isn&#8217;t until Sunday afternoon. I&#8217;m also interested in trying to meet up with anyone else out there in the blogiverse who is planning on attending; I&#8217;m free Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday after 11 am.  I know Kathy from SJ will be around on Sunday as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to the yarn store Saturday and swatched, bought the needles I would need for the pattern, and still hadn&#8217;t made out my mind.
