Not nearly enough knitting got done this week as my deadline on Venezia is looming…I am getting nervous. I think I just need to be more disciplined with my knitting.
So I have a theory. I think I have to finish the body of the sweater by Thanksgiving in order to meet my November 30 deadline. I could then get the sleeves done over the holiday weekend and seem it up in time for the end of the month reveal. This is a great theory. Problem is, it is only theory. Now I have to prove it.
Another Erin (not me) asked me to give the specifics on my color subs so I thought I would document it for anyone else who is interested.
The colors that stayed the same are: Mooskit, Mooskit/White, Sand, and Ivy
Here is what I changed:
Yellow Ochre > Jamieson & Smith brand, FC55
Rosemary > Jamieson’s brand, Eucalyptus (794)
Peacock > Jamieson’s brand, Stonewash (677)
Pine Forest > Jamieson & Smith brand, 82
Turf > Jamieson & Smith, 1293
And for the edges and bands > Jamieson’s brand, Maroon (595)
For those of you wondering what the difference between Jamieson’s and Jamieson & Smith is, well I can’t remember. I was told what the deal is but honestly I don’t remember what happened only that they are basically the same yarn–just under different names. So there you go–my yarn subs.
I will report on my progress next week. Happy knitting–let’s hope I am able to prove my theory right.

Isn’t it amazing the number of Erin’s that knit out there in Blogland? I know when I was growing up they were few and far between! Good Luck!
GO GO GO!
What are you doing reading your comments? Knit!
Best of luck! It is beautiful so far
Hey Erin–you probably have no idea who I am–I am Holli’s little sis. You are so cool! How did you learn to knit like that? I just started knitting last week–at enrichment we learned how to knit scarves. I am no good though and had to unravel mine several times, so now I only have a couple of lines.
But really, how did you get so good? Your projects amaze me!
Just wanted you to know I’m thinking of you! I can’t wait to see you in the sweater!
