I must be winning the race...

...because I'm certainly making slow and steady progress with the knitted polo.  I've been hovering just above the waist decreases for almost three weeks; the good news is, I've been knitting this shirt in the round, rather than flat (as Beth's pattern is written in Greetings from Knit Cafe), so I really don't have that much further to go.  This shirt is on the knitting back burner right now, but I will admit to taking it out every so often just to make sure the yarn is as soft as I remember.  It always is.

The yarn is absolutely wonderful.  Classic Elite Premiere, a 50/50 pima cotton/tencel blend; so, so soft.  The fabric has a lovely drape, weight, even a slight sheen, and that delicious buttery yellow may be my most beloved color right now.  I have very, very high hopes for this one.

Ah, premiere. Good stuff. I have 5 skeins of the butter color as well. I'll be interested to see how far it takes me.

I have some Premiere! I may just have to break it out if the Moth doesn't comsume my life!
