Stealth Knitting Revealed!
So now you know what I’d been keeping from you with all that stealth knitting a few months back. I hope you like it! It was absolute hell not telling you about it. Or telling you about the two photo shoots, wearing a sweater in 90 degree heat. Or the saintly patience of photographer Melissa.
I’m posting this quickly from Cody, Wyoming. We’re about to head into Yellowstone for some camping. More posts from the road, including bringing you up to date from Austin, through New Mexico and Colorado, and on into Wyoming, in a few days. (Wyoming…oh my god is this place gorgeous…)
Yellowstone awaits. Talk to you in a few days.
WOW – I love it! I’ve been lurking in your life for a while now but I have tell you how much I love your work!

GORGEOUS!!!! And enjoy Yellowstone, I was there last month. You think Wyoming is pretty? Just wait! Oh, and are you driving through the Gorge in Oregon?
Posted by: Michele
YES!! When I got the email about the new Knitty, I went over to check it out and I was immediately drawn to the thumbnail of your pattern, knowing it was you with your awesome hair before I even clicked! I thought “So THIS was the stealth knitting! Awesome, I LOVE it!
Posted by: Bertha
It’s wonderful! Congratulations!
Posted by: Carole
Oh I love it! I immediately checked to see if I have enough appropriate yarn in my stash and I DO!
Posted by: meg
Congratulations! It’s a beautiful pattern, I expect it will be on my needles this fall!
Posted by: Emily
Congratulations! I just got done skimming thru the new Knitty and said to myself…she’s familiar…Love the pattern.

Cari, it’s beautiful! And you look gorgeous in the pics. Congrats!

What a great pattern! You should be very proud!

Tussiemussie – you used one of my favorite words! (I’m a sucker for old words. [g]) That is a beautimous cardigan! Must agree with Michelle – Wyoming is beautiful, especially the amazing mountains…but just wait until you approach Oregon from the East. Or the South; whatever, like I remember your exact plans? LOL; not with my memory! If you do come by way of the Gorge, get off the freeway around Hood River and cruise for roadside apple (and other fruit) stands. Just don’t buy those damned Red Delicious; the name’s a total advertising ploy and oxymoron. Delicious *suck*.
You’re driving straight into Indian Summer out here. Gorgeous warm days, occasional showers, cooler nights. And air so bright and clear it’s dazzling. Enjoy Wyoming!
Posted by: MonicaPDX
It’s really pretty Cari! Congratulations!
Posted by: Karen
Oooh, pretty pretty! Maybe it’s time to really learn how to knit.
And a new word learned to boot! Apparently it’s not used in the Ozarks, southern California, or Texas… at least not around me.

Way cool! Congrats! I think you broke Knitty with such a great pattern – it is going super slow!

I adore it! A co-worker called me this afternoon as soon as Knitty went up and we were oogling it together. It is beautiful, and it shall be mine. And oh, oh, I just got my Ravelry invite today, so I can make one o’ them queue thingys and put it in there! Sweet!

What a great sweater! Cute and classy. The results of the photo shoot were worth it. The weather here has been gorgeous — I hope you and your cowboys arrive soon!
Posted by: Helen
Congratulations on your pattern! I love it! I want to start one right now. I am trying so hard to practice project monogamy though. Maybe that will be my motivation to finish up my current WIP.
Isn’t Wyoming great? I feel in love with Wyoming when I went there a few times on business.

Congrats on the sweater! Hope you enjoy Yellowstone – it really is a stunning area!

The sweater is gorgeous, but it’s the cherry-red hair I am going gaga over. Nice to see you back to your vibrant self. Have a lovely time in the beautiful West. I loved Wyoming too.

Congratulations! That sweater immediately went on my “Oh, I want to do this” list. It’s so pretty.
And the sad thing? I kept looking at your picture and thinking, “Boy, she looks familiar. Where have I seen her before? Has she modeled other stuff on Knitty? Why do I know her?”
And I visit your blog just about every day…(I have a Thumper habit). Loss of memory…such a sad thing.

Such fun to see you & your swell sweater when I opened up the new Knitty! Happy travels ~ you’re almost home!
Posted by: Maggi
Well done, Cari! I love your sense of style. My new year’s resolution (which I haven’t had time to break yet) is to knit out of my stash and buy no new yarn. Fortunately my birthday coincided with new year’s and my dad sent me a nice check for knitting supplies. So I get to buy some new yarn since it’s my birthday present and some of it is going to make your fab cardigan!
Posted by: Lee
Congrats! What a kick ass sweater! Love it!
Posted by: Kim
I’ve cast on for Tussie Mussie in Navy wool cotton. I had to have it! It is gorgeous!!

Lovely lovely work. Love the hair colour too. Yummm.

Congratulations! I think your Tussie Mussie is gorgeous! Lovely details – the sleeves are the perfect touch!

Beautiful sweater! If you get a chance, I’d love to know where those pics were taken – I thought it was a building in brooklyn that I’d photographed, but looking back at them, it isn’t. I have a thing for those metal bolted stars…
Thanks!

Just saw this on Knitty today- its sooo pretty!!!
Plus you look great- I love the yarn hair!
