Law school is hard. Sewing up Serrano is hard. I need something easy to knit, something soothing.
Enter Mr. Greenjeans.
I started this last night, and during the course of “Stranger than Fiction” I got a good few inches done.
This is for my mom. I have had this yarn for years, and until now I haven’t felt that I was doing it justice. First I started a simple vest, because the yarn was so beautiful I wanted the color variations to take the center stage. It didn’t really turn out, and I frogged the yarn way back in June 2006. For awhile, I was planning to do a sweater with corrugated rib cuffs but the texture of the yarn made corrugated rib very stiff and messy looking. I don’t have much of it, so I’ve been really afraid to start something and then run out of yarn. This pattern doesn’t require a ton of yarn though, so I think it’ll be fine. This is the perfect soothing project for fall, which is exactly what I need right now.

I’m impressed that you in law school *and* knitting! Love the Redjeans/Greenjeans pattern and the yarn is absolutely delicious. Thanks for the inspiration!

I’m so glad to see you are knitting this; I want to make it too and I’ll look forward to your posts. Are you using the Miss Priss, or another yarn? I’d like to do a variegated yarn, but I’m worried about pooling. Had a bad experience with WoolPak NZ once.
Glad you have some knitting time with law school!
