Knit, knit like the wind

May is going to be the month of tidying up the many knitting projects I have lying about the place. I am easily bored & this manifests itself with me starting a new project every 2 weeks or so, even if I haven't finished the the first.

So, the first project to roll out off the conveyor belt is my red Klaralund. I have made this jumper twice this year & decided I would quite like one myself. Both of the others have been made from quality yarn & turned out really nicely. This next exercise saw me possesed by the tight-arsed fairy & I (against all logical judgment) chose to knit it in cheap arsed acrylic! *Gasp*




PROs
- It was cheap. Mega cheap, infact. The entire jumper cost me £4 - compared the the £60 of the others.
- It was my first experiment with on the fly waist shaping. Best that this was done on cheap yarn instead of the real deal
- I will have no guilt in giving it to a charity shop once i have lost enough weight for it to be baggy on me.

CONs
- Easy peasey knitting. No challenge in pattern or colour.
- It is cheap & nasty looking
- The yarn is made from petro-chemicals (enough said)


I am getting to the stage where I have decided I will never have enough time in my life to knit all the things I would like to. Life is too short to spend weeks working on something that you wouldn't be happy to give your friends or family as a gift. I will endeavour to make this the last plastic thing I cast on - EVER.
