Rosedale
I started Rosedale United last night. I'm a little curious as to how I like this Kureyon colorway (its 138). Carlos thinks it is ugly but it is growing on me. I was originally going to use this yarn to make a simple top down raglan a la Crafty Brainwave but Rosedale kept calling my name. I'm actually scared shitless excited about the intarsia! So far so good . .. I'm not very far into it but am enjoying how fast knitting goes on size 8s after working on miles of garter stitch for Patrick's scarf (which was finished late Friday night).
I also got to knit at work while listening to boring educational trainings via MS Livemeeting. I turned my first short row heel! Thanks Purly for your excellent yarn over short row tutorial!
This weekend was nice. Low key except for the party (in which C's sister looked beautiful and I took many blurry pictures . . .and that was before I drank too much wine!) I'm looking forward to getting my sock pal and am nervous about knitting for someone who doesn't already love me!

Rosedale is a fun looking pattern! I feel the same way about Kureyon, though, in general - I NEVER know whether or not I'm going to like it and then it grows on me and I love it!

i think that intarsia is like entrelac--one of those knitterly things that just sounds really really scary!
