I have had some hard times, you know, living with this oppression and all. Ok, that's very much not true, but I have been going through some craaaaazy shit recently, and have become addicted to knitting as stress relief. Do not expect anything fabulous from this blog (except my presence of course).

Pie Crust Pullover

I bought some superduper yummy yarn from Loopy last week (two weeks ago now? Somewhere in there...). Eco Alpaca - 100% undyed baby alpaca. It's absolutely wonderful. When I finish this sweater I am putting it on and never ever taking it off.



Unfortunately this pullover is suffering quite a bit from seed-stitch-border-flippy-up issues. I'm hope hope hoping that blocking will fix this (anyone know how well alpaca responds to blocking?) but I am open to any tips. I am designing this myself and want it to be absolutely perfect. Here's a goofy little sketch and what I have so far. The dots are seed stitch and the waist is the pie crust basketweave from the Vogue Knitting Stitchionary. Wish me luck!
