Rainbow Sweater

For some odd, unexplainable reason, much like the reasoning behind all the yelling that the children across the road at the local middle school do on a daily basis; I would like to knit a rainbow striped sweater or cardigan.

It might be because my wonderful husband bought me enough chroma yarn from knit picks to do so or the fact that I am reconsidering knitting up the entrelac marvel known as Rapunzel by Universal Yarns. Forgetting of course the sheer ridiculousness that someone encountered at a knitters convention trying to purchase said pattern only to be met with the phrase, "You'll get the pattern for free if you purchase the $80 worth of yarn it takes from our company to make it." Really?? How sad to be turning away potential customers. That being said, I waited 2-3 years before finding a place online that sold the pattern alone for a mere $5 which in my book is a far more reasonable price.

The chroma yarn I have isn't quite rainbow-esque, but a toned down version in the colorway (New England). Many of my other projects are coming to an end and I have finished my Central Park Hoodie so my needles are craving a sweater of some sort.

I suppose time will tell what the yarn wants to be. In other news, we are moving again :-/

Packing is going well since we really haven't fully unpacked from our first move almost a year ago. I am nervous, excited, and scared all at once. I hope this move will be easier than the last.

Wish me luck...
