Now, I love to knit. OH how I love to knit. I could spend every cent of every paycheck on gorgeous yarn from Knit Picks and still never have enough, however, I am a college student and cannot afford to do so. Yet.
Well, as much as I adore knitting, I absolutely abhor around 97% of knitting patterns. Why? Three reasons:
1. Felting. *shudder* I cannot stand the look or feel of anything felted. You've just knitted something lovely and promptly ruined it! Call me a fiber rebel, but I think felting is completely uncool.
2. Most Fair Isle. Yes, some can be classy, such as Eunny Jang's Endpaper Mitts, which I actually think are gorgeous and would love to fabricate a pair for myself. But really... garments are still knit that resemble Cosby sweaters? Yikes.
3. Too complicated. I am a woman who likes simple, elegant, well-fitting garments. No cables, no extravagant lace, no baubles, no frilly sleeves, et cetera.
That is why I will be casting on a moderately modified version of Alice Bell's lovely Brompton Sweater as soon as I purchase the yarn.
Like I said, I like what I like. :)
I'm off to play some Beautiful Katamari (a game in which you roll stuff into giant balls to create planets) before I turn in. Love to you all!
