I have a copy of the Starburst sweater pattern from Knitpicks, and every time I look at it, I start itching to make it. I have some beautiful Rowan Wool Cotton in a mahogany red colour-it would make a great sweater to wear teaching. I can see it with pants, a dress, a skirt-very cute. Has anybody made it? Any comments about it?

On to other news- the sweater that I knit for Big Girl Knits is now at Wool Tyme, in Kingston. The owner, Anne, is featuring the book, and showing my sweater at the same time. It is sort of cool. Speaking of cool- did anyone see the winningpattern in the elann contest? It is a "sleeves in the pi" type of design-striped-out of aran weight. AND- knit and designed by a Canadian- the "Fun Knits" lady. Way to go!!!!!!!
