If fall feels like a new beginning then, of course, it is time for a new project.  Logical, que no?  Which brings me to thinking about that saying, "I need xxx like I need a hole in the head."  I wouldn't quite insert "new knitting project" into that phrase because, well, it sounds so violent.  No, it would be more accurate to say, I need a new knitting project like I need a new TV or a new car or *gasp* like I need more yarn!  Okay, forget that!  Let's go back to the old saying.  I need a new knitting project like I need a hole in my head but I STARTED ONE ANYWAY!!!

Right now, it just looks like a tube of stockinette but it is actually the beginning of an Elizabeth Zimmerman seamless sweater with saddle shoulders.  I was completely inspired by BrooklynTweed and I have been wanting a basic weekend, lay around, keep warm sweater.  I also have always wanted to try one of the EZ "knitting recipes."  What better time than now?  Especially with Zimmermania starting tomorrow.  

Notice the difference in the color in each photo?  It's really a cross between the two. Not as blue as the first photo but darker than the second.  Those photos are a result of it being so overcast here that the flash went off!  You must understand this is highly unusual in my world!  In Albuquerque, it is almost ALWAYS sunny!  My nine year old son is a BMX racer and I about froze my ass off at Friday night racing -- cold, wind, and at the end it began to rain!  I am a BMX mother, I am tired.
