A Certain Someone who is as generous as she is cool and hilarious completely surprised me last night (en route to KIP) with one of these shirts! I can't get a good photo of my own, but I'm wearing it now and love it. Thanks so much, Carolyn!! And my hat is off to Amber, while we're on the subject -- the Knitting Tarot deck is just delightful.
KIP was lots of fun, as usual. I'm slogging through the top portion of the back of my husband's vest. The thing about this brioche stitch is that while the right-side row is mindless (knit it), the wrong side row is not. I thought this would be a good break from my usual thing of stockinette with some moss stitch at the bottom. Brioche stitch is nice enough and produces a thick and cushy fabric...but to my eye it doesn't have the same visual payoff of cables, for example. At the same time, it takes too much concentration on the wrong sides to read while knitting those rows, so I'm sort of getting the worst of both worlds. Not the worst, really, but it is something for me to keep in mind in choosing future projects.
Have a great weekend, all!
you two are so embarrassing.

What a fun shirt. She is the best with surprise gifts isn't she?
