    Totally love it too! I have a big sweater’s worth of Rowan Chunky Print that I’m hoping might work without too much alteration. And maybe not so much of a collar.

    Oh, man! I have to go *outside* for the whole day, so I won’t be able to check it out until tonight. Dang!

    Looks like you had a wonderful time on your trip! I feel like I went too…vicariously. ha!
    I’m with you on the Josephine thing…I’m liking Samus too. I love cables and it looks like I might have to tackle Josephine this fall/winter (I shall call her “Josie sans pussycats”)

    My first thought was:
    “Of /course/ she’s thinking about handspun, she’s a SpinninGeek, after all”
    Quickly followed by:
    “…dangit, now /I/ want to spin….”
    And then:
    “Mmmmm…. sweater weather…”
    The new Knitty looks very, very tempting.

    I love that sweater!! Just makes you want to snuggle up with a great book, some great knitting, and be all cozy…
    Glad you had a great time on vacay – and glad you’re back!!

    I feel the exact same way! We had just watched Big Fish last weekend and I kept thinking about somehow designing the exact same sweater. In fact I had just clicked over from knitty to your site and was fanticizing about being wrapped up in all those long, soft cables… It is definitely a kismet must knit!

    That is a nice sweater… a nice issue, really. Knitty is tight! (Right?) I like the wraparound sweater in there too. And Cinxia too.

    I cast on for Samus last night. We’ll see if this is what that picky yarn wants to be. It keeps changing its mind…

    I love Josephine, but damn girl, that’s a whole lotta spinning you’re gonna have to do! We have faith, though, we have faith.
