I'm going to try and work on water for this segment of Project Spectrum and not just abandon it like air. The Shetland Triangle should work for that as well as my new sweater. I'm going to try to knit Tamzin over the next two months. As cheesy as it might be I'm going to try and make sure that all of the water projects come out of my stash as a little act of cleansing. This sweater is going to be the biggest part of that since it was once my almost finished humongous Glee.
Last night I ripped all the yarn and soaked it in some wool wash and warm water. After it looked like all the kinks were relaxed I hung it all to dry and this morning I re-skeined it. I kept the yarn as relaxed as possible after all the abuse I gave it, stuffing it in a bag and then under all of my stash.
As soon as I could I cast on, but I just have the neckband done. The pattern is a little fiddly but I'm hoping that I'll be able to achieve the same gathered effect as the designer's. If I have enough yarn I'd like to lengthen the sleeves and I'll be adding buttons all the way down, so that I'll be able to wear it as a more traditional cardigan. Now if I could only figure out how to knit faster.
