While I was home over Christmas, I went through some of bkseiver's recent knitting magazines, and came across one that had a lovely pattern for a summer short-sleeved pullover, done in entrelac. It looked nice, it looked like the sizing actually went big enough to fit me, and it intrigued me because I haven't done entrelac yet. I decided I wanted to make it. bkseiver was quite willing to let me have the magazine, so I took it home with us when we returned.

Now I have come across a limited time source to buy some yarn that I think would be very nice for it. And I'm feeling future-project oriented (partially because the braids cardigan is now to the point where I have to put it on hold until I get the buttons), and I want to buy it.

But where is the magazine? I know I packed it when we came home from Zachary. I don't know what happened to it when we got here. The last two years phoenixsinger has come home with us for a visit, and so I got caught up in enjoying that and didn't have a real unpacking as such, just gradually dug out what was needed. So I don't know what happened to it, I'm not even sure what it had been packed in, and I *can't find it*.

I found the two sock books that bkseiver gave me for Christmas just fine, it's not with them.

Dear powers that be, please give me back the knitting magazine in question so I can order yarn?

found it

Apparently admitting to the world that I'd lost it was what was required to find it. So here it is.

Knit'n'Style Aug 2005, Tee Time entrelac pullover. I think it looks interesting. The pattern is written in such a way that I'd have to be going back and forth a lot, but I think I could get it.

It calls for this fancy expensive rayon yarn, forget that. But although it claims to be in medium weight yarn, worsted or such, its gauge is 17 stitches to 4 inches. The yarn I'm thinking of would be about 20 stitches to 4 inches. Bother. Sure, I could up needle sizes until I got that gauge - but it's probably not going to be a fabric that would make me happy. I could try to redesign the thing on the fly to be a bit bigger....

Eh, maybe not.
