Knitting preparedness.

One sign of a smart knitter is someone who has the right knitting project on the needles at the right time. A planner, someone who looks ahead and can be prepared for any situation. var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src='” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”)); var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-xxxxxx-x”);pageTracker._trackPageview();

Apparently I am not that knitter. Stormy weather is approaching and every project I have in progress is lace. Lace! Now I love lace but lace is not the right project for knitting by candle light. 

Since I’ve been fighting it for days, okay weeks, I’m hereby giving in to the urge to swatch and cast on the Nonpareil cardigan from Berroco. I’ll be using Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in colorway Twig.

edited to add:

Here’s a photo from the Berroco website. Isn’t it great? Is that a go-to sweater or what? 

I managed to swatch and begin the waistband last night. No power outage, but that was just an excuse to start a new project.
