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?

One of the things that bothered me about the Braids pattern was that the button and buttonhole strips weren't knitted on at the same time as the rest of the body. How are you doing them?

Well, I can't really do them until the buttons come. I could start, but I wouldn't get that far. I'm going to do it just as the pattern says - picking up stitches along the front side, knitting across the reserved section of the yoke with the braids, picking up stitches along the rest of the yoke, knitting across the back center stitches, then the other side back down. It's going to be a really LONG row by the time I have all that. You knit it back and forth in garter stitch for a few rows, then do the buttonholes on one side, then a few more rows of garter stitch, then bind off. That bind off row will be very tedious.
