Gray Is the New Black

I finished my cardi, the epic project of this fall!



I know, the color choice is radical. But I wanted a gray cardigan, to go so well with all the handknit shawls and scarves.





It's warm, and comfortable, and it fits. There are one or two issues with it, mainly the size of the hood, but I'll take it as a learning experience. There is, in fact, no need to knit a hood so big an entire football team could fit in there. And play.





Otherwise, I can't think of anything negative about it. The broken rib band around the front edges and the hood nearly did me in - 530 stitches of worsted weight yarn on a 32" needle will take your soul, your will to live, your will to knit (gasp) and nearly, but not entirely, your love for gray yarn.



I do love the color. I don't know why, but gray is, and will always be, a favorite. (Ask me again next week, and it'll be green. Or blue. Or yellow!)



The coat was finished just in time. Last week, we had fall. This week, we got winter. Brr!
