Ten on Tuesday on Wednesday: 10 Sweater Patterns I Want to Knit

This is nuts.  None of the patterns agreed to stand in any kind of orderly line.  

That is why there are 30.  Alphabetical order seems the fairest way to present them.  Do the math:  one per year, and I will finish when I am blind/in the nursing home/at my own wake.

I think of my Rav queue as bookmarks more than aspirations.  At some point, I will delete patterns as not appropriate to any age I am about to be, or too dated, or fitting into the what was I thinking category.

1.  Acer
2.  Acorns
3.  Ava cardigan
4.  Ayana 
5.  Beacon Hill
6.  Breckon
7.  Cassidy
8.  Chicane
9.  Cider Mill Pullover
10. Dorica 
11.  Erin cardigan
12. Fairfield
13. Friday Again
14. Golden Vintage cardigan
15. Indigo
16. Jadis
17. Jo
18. Lexington
19. Lilium
20. Metro
21. Minimalist cardigan
22. Na Craga
23. Oscillate
24. Pinstripe Pullover
25. Pippa
26. Rene
27. Seamair
28. Simple Summer Tweed TopdownVNeck pullover
29. St. Brigid
30. Woodborer 

Links?  You are kidding, right?  This post would go up NEXT week if I did that.

I am currently working on Vodka Gimlet. It, indeed, is being constructed out of Plucky primo worsted, Barely Birch colorway.  Raglan increases:  knit, put on waste yarn, try on, rip, knit, put on waste yarn, try on, rip.

Much as I dislike ripping good work, the tedium is an excellent antidote to hospital lockdowns x 2. That will teach me to make sure there is knitting in the office.

Do you know how many times I had to go back and forth between your blog and Ravelry? You've given me more to think about than I even imagined possible. My indecision has been magnified ten fold!
Thought of you through the whole episode, my heart in my throat.

Have I taught you nothing? You never leave the house without your knitting! Love you!

I have been thinking of you this past week with all the events. My son's girlfriend works for the Red Sox. And they live in Watertown. I decided to look at Vodka Gimlet - already in my queue! That style of sweater is my favorite.

I thought you'd be sheltering at work rather than "enjoying" the time at home.

You could always have taken a pen and paper and designed your own sweater(s). I sketch out so many when I'm bored enough to chew furniture, my track record so far is knitted two, ripped one. I have no idea how many of the drawings hit the bin straight away.

Only 30?

[MelissaG]

Wow! I'm fixated on Breckon now.

I cheated, and just went and poked through your queue, rather than do all the cut-and-pasting.
And, as is always the case, my own queue (mental, anyway) has grown longer and longer...

[Vicki]

Haha. This is great. :)

Does anyone NOT want to knit the Minimalist Cardigan and Metro?

Right now the only thing keeping my queue from overbalancing the Ravelry site is that I refuse to queue anything with raglan seaming. Took me a long time to realize that it just doesn't work on this body. I hasten to say that your mileage may vary, and Vodka Gimlet does attract me greatly.

If you don't want your queue to reach 40 and 50, steer clear of the Interweave mag, Knit.Wear, and REALLY don't load it onto your tablet. Great simple shapes.
