Dawn Brocco's Life & Design Blog

Have been busy writing in to the Knit Design list many times today, but, am still making progress on the Ladies version of the Kimono Jacket. Have the body to the underarms done, and am working up the right front and right sleeve front (all one piece). Should have that and the left front and left sleeve front done by tonight.

Tomorrow, I need to get to Amazing Threads to get myself a 40", or maybe longer, Addi Turbo in size 11. I only have the 32" length which is fine for each front and front sleeve, but the entire back and 2 sleeves needs to be on one ckn, necessitating a longer ndl. A few more days and the first sample should be done.

I also have a bunch of other errands to get done - a gift for a nephew, birthday card for one of my 3 brothers, a new pillow, a stop at Adam's - a great farmer's market, for some more tomatoes and a chunk of Locatelli Romano. At least with hubby home from the surgery, we can do these things during the day and avoid the weekend craziness in Kingston.

Maybe I'll do the autumn-weight version in one color with contrasting color borders.... The striped version is graphic and striking, but a one-color jacket would be nice, as well. We'll see.
